about

Luke 2: Jesus presented at the Temple / Simeon and Anna.

lyrics

I'm just an old man
With an ancient conviction
That God is troubled by our pain

I have no wisdom
Just a fool's expectation
That God will come to our aid

Through prayer and through pain
My hope has not strayed
Keep watch with me...
My soul aches for dawn
My heart stretched and worn
Keep watch with me...
O my Lord
O my friend

I'm just a lone voice
Frail in the darkness
But the night can only last so long

I'm just a watchman
Eyes to the distance
Waiting for heaven's light to show

CHORUS

He's just a small child
From nowhere special
But something tells me, this is it

My heart's desire
My world's salvation
A candle in this darkness has been lit

CHORUS

God can I go to sleep now
I've stayed awake to the sunrise
With my failing eyes, I see through Love's disguise
In my arms I hold the world.
