Sweet Sleep Descends - Michael Card

Albert is a friend I know

Who walks a shuffling way

And you must learn to read his face

For he hasn't much to say

But he carries 'round inside himself

The knowledge he gives free.

If you look through, not at, his life

A whole new world inside you'll see

When a window is a mirror

You see two ways at one time

You look outside and see the land

The mountains left to climb

But also you can see inside

Your face is painted there

Behold your face, and see your place

And understand why you are here.

Each time I gaze upon this boy

There's something moves inside

I see my own deformities

No longer need to hide

And through his life

I look upon my life a different way

This freedom that he gives for free

Means so much more than I can say

When a window is a mirror,

You see two ways at one time.

You look outside and see the land,

The mountains left to climb.

But also you can see inside

Your face is painted there

Behold your face, and see your place

And understand why you are here.

And Albert offers at no charge

The hope what life can bring

But what he freely gives us all

Has cost him nearly everything
