A starry evening sky
Standing Right Beside me

Today I sat and looked up at the sky
I laughed and loved and sighed and wondered why
Tonight I sit and look up at the stars
And cry and die to myself again

Here I am Lord Crying out to you
I need you now Lord in the starry shivering night
You hear me now Lord as my cry turns to weakness
But you were right there to begin with
Standing right beside me

Now I'm riding down the moonlit path on this chilly summer night
I sit down upon the grass and the dew bathes my hands
Looking up I wonder how far the moon is above us
Cause I know you really love us
Just walking beside you again

Lord I don’t want to know the darkness once inside me
I don’t wanna grow up within my mind
I just wanna live another day to serve you
Cause I keep feeling cold inside

Here I am Lord Crying out to you
I need you now Lord in the starry shivering night
You hear me now Lord as my cry turns to weakness
But you were right there to begin with
Standing right beside me

I'm getting cold now as my faith seems to freeze
Losing touch now with the air I breathe
Stepping back inside now I have another chance
Cause I know that that clouds may be above us
Cause I know you really love us

That’s just okay with me
Cause that’s just okay with me
You came and gave your warmth to set us free
