The loneliness is bitter
They tell me you have known
No parents and no children
No one to call you home
I pray for you a family
Within the Father's plan
But even more I pray that you will come to understand

(Chorus)

That He is a light in the deepest shadow
And the wings of a spirit in flight
He is a spring in the dry burning desert
He is a song in the longest night

There is a holy kinship
You tell me you have known
But in the rush of serving
You wonder where it's gone
I pray you will remember
A younger heart's desire
I pray that He will breath upon the embers of this fire

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:

He is the dearest friend
While others come and go
He is the dearest friend
That you will ever know

Repeat Chorus
