In the Dark and All Alone
by Randy Conway
Owned by fear the children weep
On the streets or in their homes
Crying in the dark and all alone.
One by one or in huddled masses
An emptiness that never passes
Crying in the dark and all alone.
No one hears their cries, or no one cares
No arms to hold them no love to share
Crying in the dark and all alone.
Some have a mother but she’s disconnected
By their fears she’s unaffected
Their left crying in the dark and all alone.
Some have fathers wrapped in addiction
He can’t see their tears for his own affliction
Their left crying in the dark and all alone.
The insatiable hunger of persistent wars
Has birthed homeless orphans lost and poor
Crying in the dark and all alone.
Mothers sit clutching memories now grown cold
The little ones at her feet have now grown old
She’s crying in the dark and all alone.
A dream is crushed once a fairy tale
A young woman cries for a marriage failed
She’s crying in the dark and all alone.
Success consumes the thoughts of a young man’s mind
An illusory dream he could not find
Hiding tears in the dark and all alone.
A father looks for fulfillment in another
Empty now leaving his children and their mother
All now crying in the dark and all alone.
Darkness, tears and pain in this world prevail
Nurtured by satan and birthed in hell
He’s the prince of darkness and lies that you’re alone.
But there is one upon who dwells the Spirit of the Lord,
Because the Lord has anointed Him to:
“Preach the good news to the poor,
to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners,
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor
and the day of vengeance of our God,
To comfort all who morn
and provide for those who grieve in Zion-
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
Instead of ashes, the oil of gladness
Instead of mourning, and a garment of praise
Instead of a spirit of despair.” (Is.61:1-3)
The world is held in darkness while a flood of tears are cried
The Son of God consumes the sins of the world and dies.
In the dark and all alone.
Calvary’s sacrifice made by Jesus Christ
To give to us the gift of light
No more dark, no more alone.
There is coming a day when the dwelling of God
Will be with men.
“and God Himself will live with them.
He will wipe every tear from their eyes.
There will be no more death or mourning
or cry’s.
for the old order of things has passed away.” (Rev. 21:4)
No one left in the dark or all alone.
