Fire by Night
by Terry Wildman



When my heart is sinking low,
thinking there’s no place to go
Condemnation rushes in
like a flood
When my feelings drag me down,
and discouragements all around
I will stand on
the One who’s solid ground
You’re a cloud by day
and a fire by night
You show me the way
and teach me what’s right
You lead me in truth
and keep me from wrong, my Lord
You are my strength,
You are my song
When the battle lasts so long,
and the enemy feels so strong
And the victory seems lost and gone
When my efforts to prevail,
appear so weak and sure to fail
I will call on
the One who makes me strong
You’re a cloud by day
and a fire by night
You show me the way
and teach me what’s right
You lead me in truth
and keep me from wrong, my Lord
You are my strength,
You are my song
When my eyes can’t find the way,
even in the light of day
And the darkness presses in,
like the night
When I’ve lost the will to fight,
even when I know what’s right
I will look to
the One who is my light
You’re a cloud by day
and a fire by night
You show me the way
and teach me what’s right
You lead me in truth
and keep me from wrong, my Lord
You are my strength,
You are my song
My Lord
You are my strength,
You are my song
