The Darker the Night

When we are faced with tears and pain

When storms clouds come and bring the rain

When death comes calling, no appointment made

We cry “oh God”, come to our aid.

When we’re attacked, with hated breath

When families torn with loss and death

When hearts ripped out and spirits crushed

We want revenge, we won’t be hushed.

We feel the pain, we cry, we stare

We cry to God, its just not fair

We try to think, to understand

How could this happen to our land

We’re numb, can’t sleep, just shake our head

Did this really happen or a nightmare instead.

“Why” we ask to our Father in prayer

When we needed you, you were not there

To protect us with your power from above

And show to us a Father’s love.

He’s there, He knows, so do not fear

He only wants to hold you near

He brings no evil, only the good

Or protects you from life, let it be understood

In a darkened room, in a darkened life

That is filled with pain and loss and strife

Remember this, the darker the night

The better we’re able to see His light.
