SOME SAT IN DARKNESS

SOME SAT IN DARKNESS AND GLOOM SO DEEP

THEIR HEARTS WERE HARD AND THEY DID WEEP

PRISONERS THEY WERE CHAINED TO THEIR LIFE

THEY CRIED TO GOD TO RELIEVE THEIR STRIFE

HE SAW THEIR PAIN AND HEARD THEIR PLEA

HE DELIVERED THEM OUT OF AGONY

HE BROUGHT THEM FROM DARKNESS INTO THE LIGHT

HE SHOWED THEM HOW TO LIVE LIFE RIGHT

SOME IN DESSERT SANDS WANDERED WITHOUT CARE

SEARCHING FOR A CITY LOOKING EVERYWHERE

THEY DID HUNGER AND THIRST IN THEIR OWN WAY

BUT NOT AFTER GOD, THEIR LIVES EBBED AWAY

THEY CRIED TO THE LORD IN THEIR DISTRESS

HE BROUGHT THEM OUT OF THE WILDERNESS

WATER AND FOOD HE PROVIDED THE WEAK

IN EXCHANGE FOR THEM, HIS NAME TO SPEAK

LET THEM GIVE THANKS. GOD’S LOVE WON’T FAIL

HIS WONDERFUL DEEDS TO MAN PREVAIL

FOR THE WISE, THESE WORDS DO HEED

CONSIDER GOD’S LOVE IN ALL YOUR NEED.
