my silent nights


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
