DAY WILL FOLLOW AFTER MIDNIGHT
Spring will come when winter fades
For as long as God is with us
Each new day brings hope again
Yes God hears His people calling
Understands our every need
Don’t give up, cling to the promise
God will never, never leave
Silent tears fall in the evening
Morning brings its songs of joy
For God knows the hour of waiting
There’s Healing Grace and Faithful Love
Trust in God who walks here with us
Trust in God forever true
Hear the Father breathe the promise
‘I will always be with you’
God You hear Your people calling
Understand our every need
For Your strength matures in weakness
And Your grace is all we need
