WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT
When the lights go out...and you're all
Alone, where do you run and to whom
Do you turn, where do you find solace
As you gaze at the stars, do you seek
Wealth, and driving fancy new cars to
Numb your pain...do you search for ill
Gotten gain, what you're looking for is
Not found in anything or anyone, but in
Jesus Christ God's Son, Messiah, King,
He is LORD of everything, in him alone,
You find new life, comforting love sent
From above...giving you everything you
Need to survive, and thrive, for Christ!
