..Verse I..  The lonliness is bitter  They tell me you have known  No parents and no children    No-one to call you home    I pray for you a family  Within the Father's plan  But even more    I pray that you will come to understand    ..Chorus..  That He is a light in the deepest shadow  And the wings of a spirit in flight  He is a stream in the dry  burning desert  He is a song in the longest night    ..Verse II..  There is a holy kinship  That you tell me you have known  But in the rush of serving  You wonder where it's gone    I pray you will remember  A younger heart's desire  I pray that He will blow upon  The embers of this fire    ..CHORUS..    ..Bridge..  He is the dearest friend  While others come and go  He is the dearest friend  That you will ever know    May you ever know    ..CHORUS..    ..Coda..  He is a song  He is a song  He is a song in the longest...night.
