Cold winter frost bites my face and hands  As I fall into the darkest night as yet I have known  Mind full of memories makes it's cruel demands  How can I face another hour alone    Is there no hope for me within my misery    Pain bleeding despair  Ceaseless for so long  Many years gone  Longing for release  How can I begin again    Be near me for I am alone  As I fall into the darkest night as yet I have known  Lord be my refuge in this hour of pain  Please bring me glimpses of light through the rain    In my mind can you see black rain falls down on me    Pain bleeding despair  Ceaseless for so long  Many years gone  Longing for release  How can I begin again    I'm still feeling the pain  Longing empty within  For me to die would be release  I long to see my love again    Beloved Lord I know you still hear my cries  I am old and frail and I long to be set free  All that I loved in this life has gone  Reunite us in your arms soon in your kingdom    I can now only see death as freedom for me    Pain bleeding despair  Ceaseless for so long  Many years gone  Longing for release  How can I begin again    Pain bleeding despair  Ceaseless for so long  Many years gone  Longing for release  How can I begin again    As I face this lonely night  Am I wrong longing to leave  If it's your will for me to stay  Lead me finally through this grief    As I face this lonely night  Am I wrong longing to leave  If it's your will for me to stay  Lead me finally through this  Grief
