There's a place in the darkness that I used to cling to
|
It presses harsh hope against time
|
In the absence of martyrs there's a presence of thieves
|
Who only want to rob you blind
|
They steal away any sense of peace
|
Though I'm a king I'm a king on my knees
|
And I know they are wrong when they say I am strong
|
As the darkness covers me
|
|
Chorus-
|
|
So turn on the light and reveal all the glory
|
I am not afraid
|
To bare all my weakness knowing in meekness
|
I have a kingdom to gain
|
Where there is peace and love in the light, in the light
|
Oh I am not afraid
|
To let Your light shine bright in my life, in my life
|
Oh I... am, I...
|
|
There are ghosts from my past who've owned more of my soul
|
Than I thought I had given away
|
They linger in closets and under my bed
|
And in pictures less proudly displayed
|
A great fool in my life I have been
|
Have squandered till pallid and thin
|
Hung my head in shame and refused to take blame
|
For the darkness I know I've let win
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
Can you hear me? (repeat 6x)
|
|
Well I've never been much for the baring of soul
|
In the presence of any man
|
I'd rather keep to myself all safe and secure
|
In the arms of a sinner I am
|
Could it be that my worth should depend
|
By the crimson stained grace on a hand
|
And like a lamp on a hill Lord I pray in Your will
|
To reveal all of You that I can
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
There's a place in the darkness that I used to cling to
|
It presses harsh hope against time...
