..Verse I..

The lonliness is bitter

They tell me you have known

No parents and no children



No-one to call you home



I pray for you a family

Within the Father's plan

But even more



I pray that you will come to understand



..Chorus..

That He is a light in the deepest shadow

And the wings of a spirit in flight

He is a stream in the dry

burning desert

He is a song in the longest night



..Verse II..

There is a holy kinship

That you tell me you have known

But in the rush of serving

You wonder where it's gone



I pray you will remember

A younger heart's desire

I pray that He will blow upon

The embers of this fire



..CHORUS..



..Bridge..

He is the dearest friend

While others come and go

He is the dearest friend

That you will ever know



May you ever know



..CHORUS..



..Coda..

He is a song

He is a song

He is a song in the longest...night.
