Knock at Midnight
Send this song to your missionary

Lyrics
Verse 1
I've worn a path across this floor
From my bed to this old door
Said the same prayer a hundred ways
Still waiting for the clouds to break
Everybody says, "Just give it time"
But time feels slow at two a.m.
When the silence is the only thing
That answers back again
Chorus
I'm still knocking at midnight
Midnight
When the whole world says
Give it up and go to sleep
I'm still knocking at midnight
Midnight
Holding on to hope
When hope is hard to keep
I don't know when the door will open
I don't know what You're doing yet
But if You're listening
On the other side
I'll keep knocking
Verse 2
I've asked for healing
I've asked for peace
I've asked for things I thought I needed
And things I couldn't see
Sometimes faith feels like a candle
Burning in the pouring rain
But every time I think it's gone
A spark shows up again
Chorus
I'm still knocking at midnight
Midnight
When the whole world says
Give it up and go to sleep
I'm still knocking at midnight
Midnight
Holding on to hope
When hope is hard to keep
I don't know when the door will open
I don't know what You're doing yet
But if You're listening
On the other side
I'll keep knocking
Bridge
Maybe every prayer I've whispered
Didn't vanish in the dark
Maybe every knock I've ever made
Echoed in Your heart
Maybe faith is just believing
What I cannot see
And showing up tomorrow
With the same old need
Final Chorus
I'm still knocking at midnight
Midnight
Though I haven't seen
The answer that I'm waiting for
I'm still knocking at midnight
Midnight
Certain that Your silence
Doesn't mean You've closed the door
I don't know when the door will open
But I know You're on the other side
So I'll keep knocking
I'll keep knocking
Outro
One more prayer
One more knock
One more prayer
One more knock
Until the door swings open wide
