why was that night so quiet?
were You even there with me?
did You hear my anguished plea?
did You see my heart breaking?
I needed You that silent night
it wasn’t calm
it wasn’t bright
I wanted You to save his life
I would have gladly given mine
that night was so hard
but because you send your perfect Son
whose light would pierce the dark
whose life brings hope
to my weary, wounded heart
I choose to trust You
Emmanuel, Prince of Peace
thought the night seems endless
and the world seems cold
I know You’re with me
I have a faithful God to hold
and I’ll never
face my silent nights alone
