I lie awake thinking of you,
meditating on you through the night
(Psalm 63:6; NLT).
1. In silent contemplation
I adore you,
Opening my heart and soul
Before you;
2. Sharing all my joy, and fear
And sorrow;
Ready, Lord, to start again,
Tomorrow.
3. In silent contemplation
I adore you,
Resting here, alone, and still,
Before you;
4. Sharing in your joy, and fear
And sorrow;
Ready, Lord, to start again,
Tomorrow.
