The Nighttime Only Means There Is a Day

God will complete His work,
He never will forsake;
angels are keeping guard
along each path I take.
I trust His guiding hand;
He will not let me fall.
His sovereign grace is reigning over all.

His grace sufficient is,
His mercy overflows;
each footstep that I take
my God already knows.
Though sorrows overtake
wounding on the road,
His loving arms will help me bear the load.

I will not fear life's trials,
He supplies every need;
through His strength I can do
anything that He leads.
I yield to God's control,
trusting for each day;
the nighttime only means there is a day.

God's sovereign grace will reign,
His loving heart will guide;
the nighttime only means there is a day.
