2.Now the part with the strange time meter. You might need to listen a few times to get
rhytm. It´s not really difficult
but it´s really odd if you haven´t played stuff like this.
It first comes in without vocals and continues while the part
"Take the day now for the Lord" is sung.

Lock up the night, release the fire,
Now show The Light, pray for morning,
Take out the dark, Spirit shine,
Glowing eyes, show the heart of life.
Take the day now for the Lord,
Chosen the way how to decide,
Run away to the skies,
Unseen power to receive.
Lock up the night, release the fire,
Now show The Light, pray for morning,
Take out the dark, Spirit shine,
Glowing eyes, show the heart of life.
Feel the pain now it appears,
Darkness hates how Jesus heals,
Fly away to Life,
Mighty Grace to be free.
Lock up the night, release the fire,
Now show The Light, pray for morning,
Take out the dark, Spirit shine,
Glowing eyes, show the heart of life.
See the plan for it is real,
Satan plots death to steal.
Arrive now to Light,
Shining joy to reveal.
Lock up the night, release the fire,
Now show The Light, pray for morning,
Take out the dark, Spirit shine,
Glowing eyes, show the heart of life.
