VERSE 1
1. Somewhere in the darkest night a stranger has lost the way
Cold wind and a distant light has carried his heart away
Some say he was one of us, a prodigal gone astray
But inside he's as cold as ice to the truth that he won't obey
2. Cold chills when the Spirit speaks that some shall depart
from the faith
All ends in calamity just when they thought is was safe
repeat 4 times, 1st verse; twice 2nd verse
