~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The night grows silent after you have gone
I sigh, knowing it was you I could count on
Moon glows quietly, pouring out her light
While the stars glisten across the dusky night
The night reminds me that I’m utterly alone
Oh my, how our time together has flown?
When will I see you again… in the eternal
Where we’ll elude the unending nocturnal
The night sings of the sun’s soft beckoning
From morning’s heart – tis’ the day of reckoning
When the yesterday trembles with disbelief
Because this day is such an auspicious relief
The night grows weary with its revelations
Tender admissions of the heart’s foundations
Quivering hues of wonders and veracities
Abiding in the soul with adoring capacities
The night gentles those who know its beauty
Love this alive is more than the heart’s duty
This is the blessing that never stops giving
Because we know God, we are really living
The night is like an honest look at His grace
And the moments excite like hope’s embrace
Wherever you go, remember He is there
And, whatever you do, know that He’s aware
Let go of the pain, the struggles and strife
Take hold of His hand and find eternal life
Know the love that comes to hearts who agree
God gave His Son to set the prisoner free…
The night surely knows that the prisoner was me
And while I don’t have the words, I finally see
Beyond the darkness of the past, there is a hope
Hope that heals and reassures that I can truly cope
Wherever I go, I know the love that leads my soul
And as long as I look to Jesus, my heart will be whole
So that I can see beyond the prayers and praise
To the love that colors me in this grace that will amaze
Wherever I go, God walks with me and guides me
I’m sure that He’s stronger than the strongest tree
And when I look to Him, there I’ll find the assurance
He is the power that offers my heart its insurance
The night whispers to me about all that I’ve left behind
But I know the One who is so beautiful and kind
He tells me that this love is always going to be mine
With Him, I have eternal life and that is the bottom line!
