One lonesome cardinal
Like one lonesome cardinal
In a green sea of leaves
I sit in the sunshine
And feel a cool winter’s breeze
A tiny spot of bright red
Amongst the gigantic trees
Like David and Goliath
Only God truly sees

My mind questions everything
But my spirit stands tall
I really don’t know anything
Not anything much at all
But somehow I know one thing
When I hear the Spirit call
God’s voice whispers something
And all my defenses fall

And like that one lonesome cardinal
Sheltering in the shade
I feel His arms around me
Coming to my aid
I feel the hug of sunshine
Until the moment fades
Then stand to face my giants
With the One who my sin debt paid
