The Name I'll Never Forget

Here I go again

Savoring the night

Wishing it won't end

Hoping the sun won't rise

Silently I pray

For God to stop the time.

I find rest in the peace

That this late hour provides.

No one's staring

No one's shouting

No one's pretending

No one's hating.

They're all deep asleep

Enjoying their dreams.

No one would see

If I drown in my tears.

At this time of day

Whom can I call?

At this lonely hour

To whom can I talk?

Who would spare a moment

To listen to my sentiments?

Would you comfort this friend

And wake up from your slumber?

All I want is a friend

Who knows what I need

Who doesn't ask for words

To explain what I feel.

All I want is a friend

Who can see through my eyes

Who knows so perfectly

The things I try so hard to hide.

In the brightest of days

They're all surrounding me.

In their times of need

They never forget to call here.

But when the sun sets

And they all needed rest.

Like a shadow was I

Gone in the dark of night.

So here I am again

Calling to a Friend

Who never goes to sleep

And knows how I feel.

A thousand bottles of tears,

Maybe a million, He keeps.

His ears are always listening

Waiting for me to call on Him.

Anytime,

Anywhere,

Anyhow,

You are there.

You are God

You're my Friend

You're my peace

And my strength.

There is one Friend

Who came and stayed.

The One who heard

Even the words I didn't say.

The One who can easily tell

When I'm far from being okay.

Lord Jesus, You're that Friend

And I'll never forget Your Name.
