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...
