The Stage Is Bare

The stage is bare, the crowds are gone
The love we shared still lingers on
We sang and played and we laughed and cried
And in our tumbling way we tried
To say that only hearts can know
And all too soon we had to go
But now here in this darkened room
Just empty seats, there's just me and You

It was so easy to call You, Lord
When a thousand voices sang Your praise
But there's no one to hear me now
So hear me now, be near me now

The stage is bare, the crowds are gone
Lord, now's the time I need your song
To give me joy and certainty
When no one else is watching me
I need you more than words can say
Tomorrow's such a daily day
And I so need to feel you then
Holding my hand, please hold me then
I need You, Lord

I need Thee every hour, most gracious Lord
No tender voice like Thine can peace afford
I need Thee, oh, I need Thee
Every hour I need Thee
Oh, bless me now, my Savior
I come to Thee
