The Only Light in the Dark I See Lyrics

The closer to You I get

The further away I feel

The brighter you shine

The darker I see

How could I be so blind

A foolish life I lived

I wouldn't be here

If You never called me Yours

What kind of King would die for someone like me

Hopeless, insecure, self-centered, and lazy

Just a few of the traits on my resume

There's not a skeleton in my closet but a mortuary

When I looked Your way I was scared of what You'd see

Suppressed my little understanding, on all charges guilty

Almost died, didn't want family to see what I was hiding

But there's no escaping judgement from the Almighty

So I will sing this song

In this Light, I'll carry on

Life is a gift we chose to waste

Don't fear the dark, our regrets will one day be erased

I never thought I'd change, sang about it often

But I knew I couldn't live the way I was dying

Always chasing highs, emotionally escaping

Forgetting about the only grave that was left vacant

I don't know if I've ever felt what I now sing about

Grew up in church, but didn't have it figured out

I knew Jesus loved me, but chose deteriorating

Just to relate to counterfeit spirituality

It's funny how people who say they hate religion

Make the most religious people

Daily readings, performances, and chanting

You can't spell spiritual without ritual

So I will sing this song

In this Light, I'll carry on

Life is a gift we chose to waste

Don't fear the dark, our regrets will be erased

Open up my eyes so I can see

Your Light shining in the dark

Rip out my calloused heart

You'll deliver, I'll be alright

I won't trust in my feelings

You're close, I'll rely on facts

I won't trust in my my feelings

You won't leave, I'll rely on truth
