Alone in a crowded room
People all around, but no one acknowledges me
I smile as they walk past, I speak words of greeting
Yet no one stops to speak, no one returns the smile.

How can a crowded room be so lonely?
How can a smiling face go unnoticed?

“Lord, it seems that the crowd may be lonelier than I
For though they have others by their side, on their arm,
Their emptiness shows through their frowns, their faces
And the loneliness I felt, Lord, because I stand here alone, fades.
Because – all in all – I have you
And you are indeed the greatest friend of all.”

“Oh Lord, in your fullness, come to me,
Shine on me, your beauty, that I not feel alone
Sing in my heart, that I know you care
And remind me with your abounding presence
That you are here.
And that I am not alone in this crowded room.”
