In the darkness God will keep me
He will stay and never sleep
In the darkness God is brighter
Though the night is long and deep
All this day Your hand has held me
God of Heaven, by my side
Thank you, Father, for Your goodness
You will hold me through the night
In the shadows You are with me
And you know my every fear
In the shadows none can harm me
For the mighty King is here
All this day Your hand has held me
God of Heaven, by my side
Thank you, Father, for Your goodness
You will hold me through the night
So I find my rest in Jesus
He who came to rescue me
Jesus saved me from the darkness
I will rise to life with him
All this day Your hand has held me
God of Heaven, by my side
Thank you, Father, for Your goodness
You will hold me through the night
All this day Your hand has held me
God of Heaven, by my side
Thank you, Father, for Your goodness
You will hold me through the night
You will hold me through the night

CityAlight and Colin Buchanan's 'The Night Song' is a comforting lullaby-like worship song about God's protection and presence through the night. It reassures listeners that God never sleeps and is always near, even in darkness and fear. The lyrics express gratitude for God's faithfulness throughout the day and trust in His care through the night. The song points to Jesus as the rescuer who saves from darkness and gives hope of rising to life with Him. It draws on the biblical theme of God as a keeper who neither slumbers nor sleeps, offering peace and rest to those who trust in Him.
