[male vocals] Oh,
the
road
has
been
long
and
the
shadows
were
deep
But
the
Lord
of
the
harvest
was
watching
me
sleep
Twenty-three
years,
I
walked
with
my
queen
The
finest
devotion
that
I’
ve
ever
seen
But
the
fruit
that
we
prayed
for
just
slipped
from
our
hands
But
the
fruit
that
we
prayed
for
just
slipped
from
our
hands
Like
water
that
vanishes
deep
in
the
sands
Then
came
the
cancer,
the
breaking
of
light
My
world
turned
to
ashes
in
the
middle
of
night
I
sat
in
the
silence,
my
heart
in
a
cage
Just
waiting
for
closure
to
turn
over
the
page
But
God,
You
are
faithful,
You
restore
what
is
lost
You
carried
my
sorrow
and
You
counted
the
cost
When
I
thought
it
was
over,
You
whispered
my
name
And
sparked
up
a
flicker
inside
of
the
flame
Oh,
I
am
simply
blessed,
I
am
walking
in
light
From
the
depths
of
the
valley
to
the
stars
in
the
night
Three
years
in
the
darkness,
then
love
came
again
A
second
soft
promise
to
wash
away
pain
But
history
echoed,
the
trial
returned
Three
times
we
lost
hope
while
the
candles
all
burned
My
knees
hit
the
floor
in
the
heat
of
the
day
I
begged
for
a
miracle
to
show
me
the
way
I
asked
for
Your
mercy,
I
begged
for
a
sign
To
turn
all
this
bitter
to
something
divine
But
God,
You
are
faithful,
You
restore
what
is
lost
You
carried
my
sorrow
and
You
counted
the
cost
When
I
thought
it
was
over,
You
whispered
my
name
And
sparked
up
a
flicker
inside
of
the
flame
Oh,
I
am
simply
blessed,
I
am
walking
in
light
From
the
depths
of
the
valley
to
the
stars
in
the
night
Then
on
the
seventh
of
September,
the
miracle
came
A
son
in
my
arms,
I
will
honor
Your
name
He’
s
a
year
old
today,
see
the
joy
in
his
eyes
The
beauty
of
grace
that
took
me
by
surprise
So
I
testify
loudly,
let
the
whole
world
hear
That
perfect
love
conquers
the
grip
of
my
fear
From
the
loss
of
my
first
to
the
joy
of
my
boy
My
heart
is
a
fountain
of
infinite
joy
I’
m
grateful
for
lessons,
for
the
scars
and
the
stings
For
the
peace
that
the
hand
of
the
Almighty
brings
But
God,
You
are
faithful,
You
restore
what
is
lost
You
carried
my
sorrow
and
You
counted
the
cost
When
I
thought
it
was
over,
You
whispered
my
name
And
sparked
up
a
flicker
inside
of
the
flame
Oh,
I
am
simply
blessed,
I
am
walking
in
light
From
the
depths
of
the
valley
to
the
stars
in
the
night
I
am
simply
blessed,
oh,
I
am
simply
blessed
You
gave
me
a
second,
You
gave
me
the
best
September
the
seventh,
the
promise
is
true
Lord,
all
of
my
glory
belongs
unto
You.
