Jennifer Knapp - Martyrs & Theives lyrics

Your rating:

There's a place in the darkness that I used to cling to
That presses harsh hope against time
In the absence of martyrs there's a presence of thieves
that 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 bear all my weakness, knowing in meakness
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)
---- aaaiieee, yeah oh ----

There are ghosts from my past who own 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 'til 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 x5)

Well I've never been much for the bearing of souls
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 x2)

there's a place in the darkness that I used to cling to
That presses harsh hope against time.
