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
