Sometimes In the Night Alone

Somtimes in the night alone I get up to visit your throne On bended knees for children The outcast travelling far From the rest of heaven Sometimes to beg for a star Nights can be dark when clouds Like pallbearers and shrouds Suds the heart desert clean From scuds and frantic dreams O that star would then be seen Guiding me from the silent screams Sometimes at nights I rise to fall Where the multitude stood enthralled By human suffering on a cross And in the dust of pain Finds nothing to solace loss Unlike Elijah, I bring no rain Instead I wait in the still For your voice to stir my will In the soft rustle of wind Where the eagle soars From the rock's hard skin Moses struckt it, O it pours Flint and gallstone for some Give me Job's patient wisdom Give me, give me water, give Me to make me live, O rock Of my salvation, give and forgive Me for hating the clock The journey to you is so far But the clock bleeds the scar And ticks my life away Night is a lonely time to wait On silence when you pray I need a star to guide my faith.
