Cold winter frost bites my face and hands
 
 As I fall into the darkest night as yet I have known
 
 Mind full of memories makes it's cruel demands
 
 How can I face another hour alone
 
  
  Is there no hope for me within my misery
  
 
 Pain bleeding despair
 
 Ceaseless for so long
 
 Many years gone
 
 Longing for release
 
 How can I begin again
  
 
 Be near me for I am alone
 
 As I fall into the darkest night as yet I have known
 
 Lord be my refuge in this hour of pain
 
 Please bring me glimpses of light through the rain
  
 
 In my mind can you see black rain falls down on me
  
 
 Pain bleeding despair
 
 Ceaseless for so long
 
 Many years gone
 
 Longing for release
 
 How can I begin again
  
 
 I'm still feeling the pain
 
 Longing empty within
 
 For me to die would be release
 
 I long to see my love again
  
 
 Beloved Lord I know you still hear my cries
 
 I am old and frail and I long to be set free
 
 All that I loved in this life has gone
 
 Reunite us in your arms soon in your kingdom
  
 
 I can now only see death as freedom for me
  
 
 Pain bleeding despair
 
 Ceaseless for so long
 
 Many years gone
 
 Longing for release
 
 How can I begin again
  
 
 Pain bleeding despair
 
 Ceaseless for so long
 
 Many years gone
 
 Longing for release
 
 How can I begin again
  
 
 As I face this lonely night
 
 Am I wrong longing to leave
 
 If it's your will for me to stay
 
 Lead me finally through this grief
  
 
 As I face this lonely night
 
 Am I wrong longing to leave
 
 If it's your will for me to stay
 
 Lead me finally through this
 
 Grief
