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
