The Stage Is Bare

The stage is bare

The crowds are gone

The love we shared still lingers on

We sang and played and we laughed and cried

And in our fumbling way we tried

To say what only hearts can know

And all too soon we had to go

But now here in this darkened room

Just empty seats there's just me and you

It was so easy to call you lord

When a thousand voices sang your praise

But there's no one to hear me now

So hear me now, be near me now

The stage is bare

The crowds are gone

Lord now the time i need your song

To give me joy and certainty

When no one else is watching me

I need you more than words can say

Tomorrow's such a daily day

And I so need to feel you then

Holding my hand

Please hold me then

I need you, Lord
