Through The Night
Glenn Kaiser Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There was a time, there was a season
I did not know my left from my right
And all I wanted baby
Was to just get through the night

Too many clouds, fog in the daytime
Took so long for me to see the light
And all I ever wanted
Was to make it through the night

Though I had eyes, I could not see
Though I could walk, I stumbled blind
Until you came and rescued me
Lord, the world can be so unkind

There was a day, there was a vision
It came and I finally got my sight




God of mercy
You brought me safely through the night

There was a time, there was a season
In the past, there were moments of difficulty and challenge


I did not know my left from my right
Things were so hard that I lost my sense of direction


And all I wanted baby
All I desired


Was to just get through the night
Was to simply survive until the next day


Too many clouds, fog in the daytime
Obstacles and confusion that lasted the entire day


Took so long for me to see the light
It took a while before I understood what was really happening


And all I ever wanted
All I ever desired


Was to make it through the night
Was to survive until the next day


Though I had eyes, I could not see
Although I had the ability to see, I was unable to perceive the truth


Though I could walk, I stumbled blind
Despite being able to move forward, I was lost and confused


Until you came and rescued me
Before you entered my life and saved me


Lord, the world can be so unkind
The world can be cruel and unforgiving


There was a day, there was a vision
One day, I had a revelation


It came and I finally got my sight
Through this revelation, I was finally able to see and understand


God of mercy
Merciful God


You brought me safely through the night
You kept me safe and brought me through my struggles
