tonight

It’s quiet in my house tonight.
You can almost hear a pin drop
There’s no one with whom to fight
No one to hold on tight

It’s cold in my house tonight
You can almost see my goose bumps
No way to keep warm in sight
I’m tempted to take flight

It’s lonely in my house tonight
You can almost feel the wind
Of my next door neighbor’s kite
As it flies into the heights

I’m dreaming in my house tonight
Of the day that’s sure to come
Where I’m free of this my plight
And it no longer feels like night

It’s Jesus in my house tonight
He walked in while I was busy
He said I had the right
To give him my dark night

It’s happy in my house tonight
I’ve decided to surrender
To Jesus all my rights
In return for something bright
