LIGHT INTO DARK PLACES

LIGHT INTO DARK PLACES
SOMETIMES THE WORLD SEEMS AS DARK AS NIGHT
TWENTY-FOUR HOURS A DAY
AND YOU JUST CAN’T HELP BUT WONDER
HOW IT EVER BECAME THAT WAY

BLINDED IN DARKNESS, NO DOORWAY IS FOUND
AND YOU BECOME STUCK IN THAT PLACE
YOU FALL TO YOUR KNEES, SO CLOSE TO GIVE UP
YOUR HANDS, THEY COVER YOUR FACE

BUT THEN YOU RECALL, A HOPE YOU ONCE HAD
WHENEVER YOU TRUSTED IN HIM
THE ONE WHO HEARD YOUR PRAYERS BEFORE
AND WHO ALWAYS ANSWERED THEM

YOU CALL HIS NAME, THE LORD DOES HEAR
THROUGH THE DARKNESS, YOUR PLEA
THE STATE OF YOUR HEART, IMPECCABLY CHANGED
YOUR FEARS DO BEGIN TO FLEE

YOU BECOME A LANTERN, YOURSELF
DARKNESS IS SWALLOWED WHOLE
BECAUSE OF HIS LIGHT, THAT IS SHINING THROUGH YOU
YOU NOW SEE WHERE TO GO

HE BRINGS HIS LIGHT INTO DARK PLACES
FOR ALL TO BE REVEALED AND SHOWN
HE BRINGS HIS LIGHT INTO DARK PLACES
WHEN YOU FIND YOURSELF ALONE.
