IN THE DARKNESS OF THE NIGHT
In the darkness of the night
You may hear a snowflake fall
Or hear the beating of the heart
of a loved one lying by your side
Beating softly, quietly, still
In the darkness of the night
You may hear a baby cry
with purity and the joy of life
slicing through the darkness
with simple pure delight
In the darkness of the night
You may witness the vast eternity
that lies before your dim lit eyes
and recognize God's majesty in
every star that brightly shines
