Oh, but with your light…

You warm every inch of my body like the sun that touches it.

Warm my heart

Tonight.

As the darkness overtakes the sky,

As the Autumn wind begins to chill my skin,

As another leaf gently sways from its limb,

Held by your invisible hand to break its fall…

Warm my heart,

Tonight.

Relentless is that spiritual stalker,

Waiting for the windows left open in my mind,

As tempting thoughts breeze in…

Lord, warm my heart.

Tonight.

With your mighty power and light,

Close all the windows I cannot shut on my own.

Turn the fireplace on inside my soul.

An unseen crackling setting everything aglow.

With your light,

Tonight,

Warm my heart.
