Stay in the Light

When the guns fall silent
And the birds of war have flown
When the sounds of death and violence
Are no more — take me home…
When my heart is pining
For the choice of yesterday
And your love alone is shining
Let me stay, let me stay…
Stay in the Light
Of the one who was there before the night
Stay in the light
Of the one who was there to bind the might
Of the one who was
To conquer the night all alone
Alone…
What can I rely on?
There’s an empty cup of hope
And a bed of nails to lie on
Cannot cope — I can’t cope…
When my ship is sinking
And my eyes are going blind
When this bitter cup I’m drinking
Never mind — never mind…
When my soul is crying
For the lives long lost in time
When my only hope is dying
Give me time — give me time…
Stay in the light
Of the one who was there before the night
Stay in the light
Of the one who is there to give sight
Of the one who is there to conquer the night all alone — alone
All alone — we’re all alone
Gotta turn back home tonight to Chris alone
The truth be known — May Your Kingdom come!
