It's good to be lonely every now and again
To be parted from the ones you adore
To sit at a table for two all alone
And take a look at the world around you
At people with no one to go home to
And some with a place to belong
Others consumed by their weakness
And another when weak seems so strong
Lord, let me be at peace wherever I am
Satisfied with all I have, a faithful friend
And know I am grateful
'Cause if it makes me love you even more
I know I'm sure
It's good to be lonely every now and again
It's good to go down to defeat now and then
To fail at some nobel pursuit
To fall short of the prize and find in His eyes
There's nothing your victory can do, no
To secure higher favor
Oh, He cannot love you more than now
Winners and losers
All are the same somehow, somehow
Lord, let me be at peace wherever I am
Satisfied with all I have, a faithful friend
And know I am grateful
'Cause if it makes me love you even more
I know I'm sure
It's good to go down to defeat now and again
And it's good to know sorrow
To be closely acquainted with grief
To be showered with tears
No reason to cheer
To find in Christ your only relief
Oh, Lord, let me be at peace wherever I am
Satisfied with all I have, a faithful friend
And know I am grateful
'Cause if it makes me love you a little bit more
I know I'm sure
It's good to know sorrow every now and again
It's good to know sorrow every now and again
(Every now and again)
Yeah, yeah
(Every now and again)
Every now and again
Starting to think about it
Every now and again
(Yeah, yeah...)
