I walked alone in darkness
No hope at all could see
Till Jesus stood before me
The brightest light was He
He said "Just take My hand
I'll lead you from the dark
Then we'll start out together
A journey to embark"

I've now been on this journey
For many years with Him
At times I tried to lead the way
But the light began to dim

Chorus:
I'm sorry to say that I got lost in the dark
Never knowing what else to do
When I was lost without a trace
Lord knows I found it hard to search for the early light
Until His love came around
Now that He's in my embrace
And the early light shines on my pretty face

For when Jesus wasn't leading
There wasn't enough light
To keep me on the pathway
That leads from wrong to right
One day we'll end this journey
Just when I do not know
But until then,
I'll try to let my Lord before me go

How else on earth could I ever be so blind
When I knew that golden beams were obscure
And I never had the power to shine

Repeat Chorus

How else on earth could I ever be so blind
When I knew that golden beams were obscure
And I never had the power to shine
The heavenly light through the darkness of time

Repeat Chorus and fade
