From out of the dark we emerge

On nothing but a prayer

Knowing God is there

We run our race

At our own pace

We can clearly see

It was meant to be

We carry the thing

That makes the heart sing

We share life lessons

That have become confessions

We saw what we’d gain

Despite the heartache and pain

And we remain strong

Whether we’re right or wrong

From out of the dark we come

God filled us to the core

Then offered us more

We cherish every day

In a very special way

We learned to sit still

As we accept God’s will

We remember who we are

As we reach for a star

We’ve let go of regret

We give as good as we get

We embrace the purpose

We saw lying at the surface

We wear a smile

That will last quite a while

We got a chance

To do a victory dance

We no longer doubt

Cause God worked things out

We have a gift

That gives us a lift

We take the time

To remember our prime

And we look ahead

Without an ounce of dread

As we come out of the dark
