My heart is filled with sorrow, my eyes are lost in rain tonight,
Yet within these clouds of darkness, God still keeps His light tonight.

Though the dust of grief has settled softly on my heart's old mirror,
Behind this heavy veil of sorrow, dawn is drawing near tonight.

If the heavens have grown darker, O my heart, do not lose hope,
For even in the deepest night, a sun is burning bright tonight.

If this rain has fallen from the heavens and has made my eyes grow wet,
Every drop carries a whisper of His endless grace tonight.

The clouds have come to tell us sorrow never stays forever,
After every heavy rainfall, gardens bloom again tonight.

Whatever this world may take from you, God can give you something greater,
For what He keeps within His hands is worth more than all tonight.

If one door is closed before you and the road has disappeared,
Beyond that wall, another pathway may be waiting tonight.

Sometimes you must close your eyes to every distant road before you,
So you may see the hidden road that lies beside you tonight.

If your heart has grown exhausted from the burdens of this world,
Call upon your God again; He heals the wounds of every heart tonight.

Wherever you may fall, arise and take another quiet step,
For the hand of God walks beside each troubled soul tonight.

Do not think the sky has risen up against you in a war,
Sometimes even clouds are sent to bring the rain tonight.

Sometimes a delay becomes the beginning of a thousand openings,
Sometimes a dead end is the doorway to a new beginning tonight.

What slips away from your hands may someday prove a greater blessing,
Though His wisdom may be hidden, He brings all things into place tonight.

We do not know in which tomorrow's streets our destiny will find us,
Yet we know His hand remains our shelter and our guide tonight.

Even if the world should build a wall upon a wall around you,
There will still be one small window opening into light tonight.

If your eyes are lowered toward the earth, let them look toward heaven,
For the hope within the human heart can rise beyond the night.

I have placed my faith within a tomorrow not yet born or seen,
For I know that God Himself is waiting there for me tonight.

The longer seems the night, the closer comes the light of morning,
This belief within my chest stands firm as an eternal vow tonight.

Though my heart is tired from the endless repetition of its sorrow,
Deep within my soul there still remains the longing to believe tonight.

Let the clouds remain before the sun for as long as they desire,
Behind them lives a timeless light that cannot fade tonight.

A single drop fell upon the earth, and from the earth a flower awakened,
Thus within each fall there lives the possibility of life tonight.

Every traveler someday leaves this vast and restless sea of living,
But what remains is only love, the love we gave tonight.

Neither gold nor fame nor worldly voices follow us forever,
What remains is kindness resting quietly within the human heart tonight.

So if the world should turn its back upon you, guard your peace,
Perhaps this pain is only a trial upon the road tonight.

Hold less tightly to the things that are not truly yours,
For only He remains the King of all that lives tonight.

O God, although I have nothing but this weary heart to offer,
Take this heart and make it, if You will, Your home tonight.

I ask of You no treasure but one gentle, loving glance,
For one glance from You is greater than a thousand gardens tonight.

Though my dreams may sometimes have to wait before they bloom,
Perhaps each delay You send is filled with hidden meaning tonight.

I do not know why You have chosen this road for me to travel,
But I know that wherever it leads, You are there tonight.

Wherever I may be, if I whisper softly Your holy name,
A hundred mornings rise within my darkened soul tonight.

So let the heavens pour whatever rain they wish upon this world,
My heart remains at peace whenever I remember You tonight.

Let the world remain unaware of where this quiet peace comes from,
For my secret lies between my soul and my Beloved tonight.

Let whoever sees me recognize the sorrow within my eyes,
For I still believe that tomorrow will become a garden tonight.

Though our sorrowful hearts are drenched beneath the rain of heaven,
Even within this very rain, O God, Your living presence remains tonight.

Though the heavens have grown dark beneath a veil of clouds,
His light still finds its way through every curtain of the night.

So do not say that the story of these heavy nights has reached its ending,
For when a story belongs to God, how could it truly end tonight?

With every breath, awaken your hope and bring your soul to life again,
For life becomes gentle and sweet when lived with Him tonight.

Morning will arrive, and this night will never last forever,
This conviction in my heart stands firm and bright tonight.

Though my eyes are wet and my heart is filled with countless wishes,
I have only one simple prayer: “O God, remain with us tonight.”

And if tomorrow finally comes, what shall I ask from this long night?
Only a peaceful heart and a love that still remembers You tonight.

Whatever comes, whatever waits beyond the turning of the road,
I will never cast You from my heart, for with You all is made whole tonight.

O God of all the heavens, refuge of the weary and the broken,
Within this endless night, my faith remains a light tonight.

Though our sorrowful hearts have gathered rain from all the heavens,
One gentle cloud has gathered light from those same heavens tonight.

Though the heavens have darkened over our tired eyes,
His light breaks through the veil of night and shows the way tonight.

I will trust the light You placed within the hearts of the weary,
And I will hope forever—for my God is life and light tonight.
