Sara Kendrick Poet Lyric

In the Dark of the Lonely Night

(start 1:06)In the dark of the lonely night
When the stars don't give forth their bright light
And the ocean's waves are so still 
Please embrace me
Emmanuel

In the dark of the lonely night
My love for you is just so right
Emmanuel you're my guiding light
Emmanuel

1:32 (minutes into the song)

Come to me oh my love
My dearest Turtledove
Come to me and hold me now
You're gentle touch is so envigorating somehow
Inspiring, enchanting, enchanting
Oh! my love

In the dark of the lonely night
My love for you is just so right
Emmanuel you're my guiding light
Emmanuel my love
