Story behind the song

As I wrote a musical about how the first Christmas affected, not only man, but the animals and the universe, I realized how frightening it must have been for Mary to have her child in the stable where all are born only to die as sacrifice for the sins of man.

Lyrics

OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN
ON THIS DARK DREARY NIGHT 
MY HEART IS AFRAID 
OF THE MORNING'S LIGHT 

AFRAID TO KNOW 	 
YOUR WILL FOR ME        		
AFRAID TO GIVE 			
MY SOUL TO THEE 		

PLEASE SEND ME STRENGTH	
TO FOLLOW YOU			
THE STRENGTH I’LL NEED 	
TO CARRY ME THROUGH	

LET ME KNOW THE TRUTH	
AND DO YOUR WILL		
AS I WAIT FOR YOU				
HUMBLED AND STILL	

	YOUR WILL NOT MINE BE DONE 
	YOU ARE THE HOLY ONE 
	THE POWER OF YOUR WORD 
	RINGS OUT THROUGH HEAVEN AND EARTH 
	TO PROVE HOW GREAT THOU ART 
	I CAN HEAR IT IN MY HEART 

OH FATHER IN HEAVEN
PLEASE HOLD MY HAND TONIGHT
AND STAY WITH ME
TIL THE MORNING'S LIGHT 

MY SPIRIT KNOWS
YOUR WILL IS BLESSED
BUT FEAR BEATS STRONG
WITHIN MY CHEST

MY HEART CRIES OUT 
PLEASE CALM MY FEARS
AND STAY NEARBY 
TO DRY MY TEARS

TO DO YOUR WILL
LET ME KNOW THE TRUTH 
AS I WAIT FOR YOU
HUMBLED AND STILL

	YOUR WILL NOT MINE BE DONE
	YOU ARE THE HOLY ONE
	THE POWER OF YOUR WORD 
	RINGS OUT THROUGH HEAVEN AND EARTH 
	TO PROVE HOW GREAT THOU ART 
	I CAN HEAR IT IN MY HEART
