When Darkness Falls
When darkness falls,
And the light grows dim,
When the clouds are grey,
And it's pouring in,
When all alone,
Do you, think off him,
When all have gone and no hope is found,
When you feel so bad that you're in the ground,
And the mud sticks deep so you cannot sleep,
Were, you washed away by the flood so deep,
When the night was long and the song had gone,
When the birds don't sing the morning song,
Was he there with you, did, you think of him,
Or all along no sound within.
When a new day dawns,
And the sun shines through,
And the blinding pain seems to block your view,
Or the road ahead seems to clog your head,
Did you think of him when in your bed,
When all friends have gone,
And you're all alone,
Not even a knock or a telephone,
No one at all,
No one to care,
No one to see your deepest despair,
So call to God
You know he's there.
