Every Now And Again lyrics

Wayne Watson
It`s good to be lonely every now and again
To be parted from the ones you adore
To sit at a table for two all alone
And take a look at the world around you
At people with no one to go home to
Some with a place to belong
Others consumed by their weakness
And another when weak seems so strong
Chorus
Lord, let me be at peace wherever I am
Satisfied with all I have--A faithful friend
And know I am grateful
`Cause if it makes me love you even more
I know--I`m sure
It`s good to be lonely every now and again
It`s good to go down to defeat now and then
To fail at some nobel pursuit
To fall short of the prize
And find in His eyes
There`s nothing your victory can do
To secure higher favor
He cannot love you more than now
Winners and losers
All are the same somehow
Chorus
And it`s good to know sorrow
To be closely acquainted with grief
To be showered with tears
No reason to cheer
To find in Christ your only relief
Chorus
I`m alone a lot.One spring Saturday in a small-town `mom and
pop` restaurant, I wasn`t just alone, I was lonely.I sat and
just watched.Families together, two elderly ladies out for
lunch, a mother with two unhappy babies.Next time you go on a
pity binge, go off and watch the world go by and count your
blessings.
