TEXT:

In the dark of night / In shades of fear

I’ll reach within / Deep in my soul

To find the promised light / A dream to keep in sight

I am a voice that sings!

When all hope seems gone / On your path unknown

Feeling alone / I’ll keep right on

And blend my voice with yours / To lift and reassure

I am a voice that sings!

I’m resolved to love / Be a force for change

My hand will hold / Your tender wounds

Together we will find / Something of grace and peace

I am a voice that sings!

When the flowers fade / When the stars grow dim

When the smile leaves / And tears appear

From deep within the heart / The song of life draws near

I am a voice that sings!

I am a voice that sings!

Together we will sing!
