Years ago, Frank wrote fresh lyrics to a song, and he looked for a female artist to learn and record it.
But he could find no one. Until October 2022.
Frank connected with Grace Elly, an upcoming music artist.
Grace learned and recorded the song in studio. It’s called “In This Quiet Time With You.”
The original song was written by Gordon Lightfoot, and it’s called “Song for a Winter’s Night.”
The music on the track below is from the version created by Sarah McLachlan and Jewel.
You can listen to Frank share the background to the song and hear Grace sing on the audio below.
Here are the lyrics:
The lamp is burning Lord in my inner man
The light softly glowing
The air still in the silence of my mind
I hear Your voice softly calling
(Chorus)
As I behold Your glorious face
Here with a saint or two
I will be happy just to touch the heart I love
In this quiet time with You
Your peace is conquering this troubled heart of mine
My cup is overflowing
I read again between the lines upon each page
Your words of love they fill me
(Chorus)
As I behold Your glorious face
Here with a saint or two
I will be happy just to touch the heart I love
In this quiet time with You
The fire is dying my lamp is growing dim
The shades of night are falling
Your morning light steals across my spirit now
Your presence never leaves me
(Chorus)
As I behold Your glorious face
Here with a saint or two
I will be happy just to touch the heart I love
In this quiet time with You
And to be once again with you
