Night time has fallen and cold consumes the air A beggar is waiting just outside the castle stairs Years of wrong choices and a lifetime of sin Had brought this man begging once again
Suddenly a stir a familiar sound he hears Wondering and waiting if the king is coming near But this night is different and he can't explain For some unearthly reason the king calls him by name
He says sir I've heard you crying, and I've heard your desperate plea Won't you take this gift I offer, won't you let it meet your need
When a storm cloud meets the sun When a raging storm is won There's a peace that overcomes everything When a drifter finds his way When a dying man is saved There's a hope when a beggar meets a king
Once I had fallen, and darkness filled my soul Lost in confusion, spinning out of control My years of wrong choices and lifetime of sin Had brought me to this place that I was in
Oh, but then a voice broke through the silence And Jesus called me out by name And when this bread of life he offered This beggar's never been the same
When a raging storm is won There's a peace that overcomes everything When a drifter finds his way When a dying man is saved There's a hope when a beggar meets a king
He's holding out his hand You can drink this living water And you will never thirst again
When a raging storm is won There's a peace that overcomes everything When a drifter finds his way When a dying man is saved There's a hope when a beggar meets a king
