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.
