Tonight

Tonight

by Vicki Scott Burns

Tonight

I find myself

On such familiar ground

Tonight

The enemy

Is lurking all around

Such familiar fears are creeping in

A familiar battle once again

Tonight

Tonight

I’m wondering

How can this really be

Tonight

I’m wondering

How I fall so easily

I know my problems may seem small

But to me they’re tall as Jericho’s wall

Tonight

Oh Protector and Creator

Mighty King, mighty Redeemer

Tender Shepherd, gentle Savior

Come meet me here

Come meet me here

Jesus meet me here

Tonight

The Lord is near to those who call him

He hears their cry and saves them

Be near me now

Be near me now

Tonight

I don’t need to fight

I’ve fallen to my knees

Tonight

I’ll hold on tight

I’ve surrendered all of me

I don’t need to hear the trumpet sound

I don’t need to see the bricks fall down

Tonight

Oh Protector and Creator

Mighty King, mighty Redeemer

Tender Shepherd, gentle Savior

He met me here

He met me here

My Jesus met me here

Tonight

So on this solid rock I’ll stand

All other ground is sinking sand

Oh Protector and Creator

Mighty King, mighty Redeemer

Tender Shepherd, gentle Savior

My Jesus met me here

My Jesus met me here

My Jesus met me here

Tonight
