"Think of Me Tonight"

cji
5/15/99

Verse 1
********

It isn't much to ask
or to say in the silence
of the darkness
found where we are now
within the arms
in-twined in sleep
and deep in dreams
when I wish and you ask
to think of me tonight.

Verse 2
********

The blessing of life
are the light I see
unable to turn from it
I see deeper into your heart
and thus in a moment
I linger in this thought
of just who you might
really be or could be with me.

Verse 3
********

My life has wandered
into hallowed ground
and then deep in the morass
of the swamps and glades
where roam the gator's
and snakes who pray
upon the mind of one
who in darkness quietly
whispers to be remembered
by me on this night.

Verse 4
********

Gone now the darkness
and into the light of day
yet still your memory lingers
near in my mind and heart
where always and forever
it will be until the days
no longer end and night
is forever gone beyond
the reality of life
and in immortality
we dwell at a sphere
reserved for those
who love deeply of the right
and obey beyond the strength
asked for us to surrender;
yet tonight I will think of you.

Verse 5
*******

Thus when my Savior I listen
to the still small voice
whispering deep within
me at times - to again
please to think of Thee;
I fall on bended knee
asking your forgiveness
in the times of my life
when I've remembered not
the relationship we have,
and how much you love me
then do I remember
each night to think of Thee.
