| I said a silent
prayer
in the middle of the night I needed to know if you could hear me, I needed to stand within your light. I need rest within your arms to feel tranquility and hope I need you, Lord, within my life to aid my struggle and help me cope I would like to know if you can hear me when I'm praying in the night Sometimes I feel so alone and want to give up the fight I need to know if you can hear me in the middle of the night To know if you can hear my prayers to rest within your loving light And when I feel all is lost and am tempted to give it up I feel your loving sweet caress I feel you holding me up You pick me up and dust me off and wipe my tears away You tell me not to fear a thing; You're with me throughout the day. I know you have surrounded me with your angels, saints and light and because you have surrounded me I can endure the lonely night I know sometimes my faith may slip and I begin to doubt But then I feel your sweet caress and your love washes my fear right out When I say a silent prayer in the darkness of the night I know that you can hear me and I can rest within your light. -- Patrick Stalinski |
