Lonely Tonight

posted in Life and Other Oddities..., Sound and Music, hmmmm |

Here’s a song that really touches me when I’m in a place where I have faith that God is in complete control… but still struggle with the reasons of a particular situation.

Hope it touches you too. (Works best when repeated about 50 times in a row.)

From the album “Slow Revival” by Bryan Duncan

Lonely Tonight (click if you want to preview/buy the mp3 at Amazon)

Don’t belittle me, don’t be light
Hear me truly and hear me right
I know You love me and I know You care
I know You’re always there
But I’m lonely tonight

The sun has set in a misty grey
All the color has passed away
I watch the moon as it clears the wall
‘Life is good,’ I’m sayin’, ‘all in all,
But I’m lonely tonight’
Yeah, my faith is gonna see me through
You know I trust in You
But I’m lonely tonight

It’s not a simple need for company
I don’t know
where I belong in the world I see
and I’m lonely tonight

Rest assured in amazing grace
I’d feel safe in a safer place
It’s true I love You and my love is true
You know I’m thankful, too
But I’m lonely tonight
I can gather all the power to choose
And I can take it if I win or lose
But I’m lonely tonight
I’m lonely tonight

I don’t know
where I belong in the world I see
And I’m lonely tonight

A silhouette in a garden gate
A single prayer in a solemn state
A place for me I’m gonna recognize
Someday in paradise
‘Cause I’m lonely tonight

Oh, it’s not a simple need for company
I know now
that I don’t belong in this world I see
And I’m lonely tonight
Lonely tonight
Lonely
Lonely
Tonight

    Good post, even better song. I don’t believe I’ve ever heard of it. Gives a person much to think about.
