TEXT
The season swells with Noel
Lights are shining, Yuletide dawning
Here I am alone
Looking past gold and glass
A future lost, cold as the frost
Oh where is home?
Carols ring, choirs sing
Candles burning, memories swirling
All around me
Here I stand with open hands
I’m drawing near and I hear
Echoes of joy
In this night of silence
My broken past is left behind
Dreams are born from the ashes
So beautiful as they rise
Tears flow walking through the snow
I can’t see the path before me
But hope still burns
A velvet sky arching high
Warmed by starlight, all is bright
And love returns
In this night of silence
The light of heaven shines
Peace, be still, I’m not alone
I’m filled by grace divine
REVIEWS
"Naomi’s song ‘Night of Silence’ captured the feeling of being alone and having hope at the same time.”
