Lyrics

Thank you Lord for being my friend,
everyday You show Your mercy.
Help me Lord to understand,
that my life is in Your hand.

When I look up to the sky
and the clouds arise above me.
Then I cry, I don't know why,
they're just clouds a' passing by.

I praise You Lord
and I thank You Lord.
For Your amazing love,
that You showed me on the cross

And I will bow my knees,
and glorify Your name.
I lift my hands to You
and give my life to You alone.

In the silence of the night,
I come to You my Lord and Savior
In this life that's sometimes hard,
I know Jesus You are near.

When I look into Your eyes,
I see the pain that you have taken.
And Lord that's the reason why,
I sometimes have to cry.

2008-09-23In the silence of the night, when I’m sad and no one is there with me, I know up there is my God who truly loves me. Yes Lord. Help me to understand and trust that my life is in your hand…

Thank you for being passionate in sharing your talents to bless others including me. I have set this song to be sung in the evening part of our church anniversary celebration. My male churchmates already heard this song and they would love to sing this.

May God continue to enable you to make melodies for His glory.
