One of Those Nights

The mist rolls over the sleepy town,
All is quiet, there isn't a sound.
Out from the shadows walks a young girl alone,
She looks like a princess in disguise trying to find her throne.
The glory of her rule has been stripped away,
As she walks through the gloom she remembers herself in another day.
Glancing back and forth she looks for the danger,
She has her guard up and is cautious against any stranger.
The girl use to be beautiful its true,
But someone stole her innocence and now she cant go back to being new.
The pain and sorrow leak across her young but worn face,
She dreams of those former nights of diamonds and lace.
Now she longs to keep the clothes on her back,
That's what happens when pride takes over and humility is what you lack.
She will never return to the dark place where she once sat,
She has traded her tiara for an ugly old hat.
By herself she is aware of the loneliness she feels,
So in the cool of night she stops and goes to kneel.
She cries and breaks the silence of the street she was upon,
Light is starting to bring a new dawn.
Redemption comes to those who give all of it up,
Sometimes God has us take a lofty cup.
From an untrained eye she may seem sad,
But in reality her heart is pure gold and something to be had.
Nothing in the world is worth more than a humbled and joyful soul,
Pleasing the king is her one and only goal.
She gave up her riches and fame,
And let her Lord bring meaning in his name.
She is rescued from the darkness that surrounds,
From her only love and light abound.
Letting go of what is behind her and forward she goes,
Where she goes next only her Savior knows.
Digging up buried secrets and lies from her past,
And replanting truths that will last.
In her ear she hears her King begin to sing,
"Come be safe under my mighty wing".
Grace to you my daughter, princess, friend,
To you my dear my life I will lend.
You fight bravely for the heart of your king today,
And you will forever hear him say.
"Be with me and live in perfect peace,
Your pain, sorrow and sin will cease.
Give up the keys to the false kingdom you built here,
And in my kingdom you will have nothing to fear.
Fret not my sweet girl, forever and always I will be near my dear".
