Lyrics
The Darkest Hour
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The sun is slowly sinking
The day is almost gone
Still darkness falls around us
And we must journey on.
The darkest hour is just before dawn
The narrow way leads home
Lay down your soul let Jesus in
The darkest hour is just before dawn.
--- Instrumental ---
Like a shepherd out on the mountain
Watchin' the sheep down below
He's coming back to claim us
Will you be ready to go?
The darkest hour is just before dawn
The narrow way leads home
Lay down your soul let Jesus in
The darkest hour is just before dawn.
The darkest hour is just before dawn...
