You want it darker still Lyrics

In the beginning was the Word

And the Word was with God

And the Word was God

Through Him all things were made

Without him nothing was made

That has been made

Yet you scoff at a creator

Assuming from nothing we came

You mock we need healing

In a world which feels such pain

If He is the glory

It doesn't mean our shame

He loved us so much

And that's why He came

The light shines in the darkness

The darkness can't win

You rail against the light

You want it darker still

The candle keeps shining

Path clearly lit

And love keeps my heart warm

The flame burns my guilt

The true light came into the world

He was in the world

But the world did not see him

He came to that which was his own

But his own did not receive him

His own did not believe him

It's a story of rejection

A lover mocked and scorned

A parodox that those he loved

Were the ones who nailed my Lord

And yet to those unlikely

He reaches out a hand

He offers hope, and love

A light to the promised land

The light shines in the darkness

The darkness can't win

You rail against the light

You want it darker still

But the candle keeps shining

Path clearly lit

And love keeps my heart warm

The flame burns my guilt
