Halleluja

I could not sleep last night Lord,
Not the first night with myself awake
In the cold darkness of a solitary night,
But this time I played Halleluja over
and over; For 3 hours I sat and wept;
As the sobs wracked my body
only one cry could escape my lips,
Halleluja, Halleluja, Halleluja, Halleluja...

I saw the lights gone down in my city,
With Your great lantern hanging high,
Adorning the bay's light blues with
A million golden sequins shining up
Into pearly sails and jeweled ships;
And as my eyes could no longer bear,
And water washed away the searing light,
only one cry escaped my lips,
Halleluja, Halleluja, Halleluja, Halleluja...

Maybe you should try a different book? and a CD with happy music, at the very least something a little less droll.

I'm accustomed to staying up at night because I work nights. The sky is a beautiful canvas when it's a clear night.

Don't those stars seem to reach right down and grab you on a clear night? A powerful refrain, halleluja...
