I WHO HAVE NO ONE

I WHO HAVE NO ONE

I who have no one, no one at all
Envy others as in love they fall.
Sleepless nights, with inward burning,
Feeling hopeless, tossing and turning.

Lord please forgive the fool I've been
Hiding from goodness in the shadows of sin.
I humbly pray to heaven in space
For one more chance to regain my grace.

I've lived my years indulging myself
Leaving decency and principle on the shelf.
Now that your light shines on my face
I pray for forgiveness in shame and disgrace.

All I ask is your life mate for me
And I pledge to become all I can be.
A soul without love is empty and void
No wonder so many become destroyed.

Outside my window there's the thunder of rain
And the haunting sound of a far away train.
I feel your presence as I silently cry
For someone to love before I die.
