DEEP WAS THE NIGHT

Deep Was the Night

Deep was the night of my soul

Heavy the burden I bore

Weak from the load that I carried

Wounded and weary and sore 

Sweet was the light of the morning

Great was the joy that I’d found.

For I had been to the foot of the cross

And had laid my burden down, down, down

Laid my burden down

 Deep is your river of tears

Dark is the night of your shame

Where is the hope of your rescue?

Why don’t you call on His name? 

Sweet is the joy of forgiveness

When you no longer are bound

When you have been to the foot of the cross

And have laid your burden down, down, down

Laid your burden down.
