Heaven-sent and unexpected
I found a thread of silver
It came to me in time of need
And delivered me a saviour
Under dismal cloud of despair
I’ve lingered much too long
I’ve felt my spirit fading fast
And hope was almost gone
But across the miles and the seas
A treasure most rare I’ve seen
It touched my soul and gave me strength
And a shoulder on which to lean
There is a truth in what they say
A silver lining can be found
In ev’ry cloud above our head
Silver threads of friendship abound
