I sit alone and contemplate the beauty of the night

Quiet darkness blankets me, twinkling stars so bright

My troubled soul, it craves a stroke to ease the pain of life

A fervent heart that reaches out and longs to take new flight

Father, how I need You now, take my hurt and fear

Here I stand, an open book, meet me in my tears

The softest sounds I hear tonight, they comfort and bring peace

Sweetly vast and beautiful, heavenly, complete

I look into the deepest dark and find You in the night

Lord, Your love is seeping through the loneliness inside

Father, how I need You now, take my hurt and fear

Here I stand, an open book, meet me in my tears

The stars are brilliant up above, like diamonds in the sky

But Your love bursts through brighter still and brings me true delight

Oh the night can be so long, heartache comes like waves

Help me Lord to feel Your warmth and stay in Your embrace
