The night burns all around
The storm that cannot be quenched
The work of a honest and humble man
And your gentle patient knock
You hold me with all the fevers of terror
And in you is the meaning of my life
The quiet life of a woman and a man
This is the reason for thanksgiving
A woman and a man who love one another
Who silently enjoy one another's company
Dedicated to one another's success and happiness
We each work quietly affiliated to our task
The night is deep like a raging river
Or a darkness I fear to enter into
Its heavy curse lays upon the land
And above are the all-knowing stars
In my arms I'm holding you close
Promising everything will be alright
But it might not always be alright
And I know this in my heart
In Jesus' Name,
Amen
