Knowing You Are With Me

Another dark and lonely night approaches

When thoughts of you will fill each sleepless hour,

And memories of times we shared together

Erupt and totally overpower.

People tell me 'Time is the great healer ',

And as the days go by, pain will recede.

But in those words I find no understanding

Or comfort that can reach my deepest need.

I know of only One that I can turn to.

Yes in the darkest hour, Lord, please be there.

Let your gentle arms of peace enfold me,

Support me through my nights of deep despair.

Empower me with the strength to meet tomorrow

'Til darkness slowly lifts and dawn peeps through.

And the knowledge just of knowing You are with me

Will help me face the thoughts of life, anew.
