Out Of The Dark

I’ve faced some difficult days

While trying to change my ways

I’ve felt ashamed

I’ve been defamed

I’ve faced some scorn

Had my heart torn

I’ve gotten lost

Without knowing the cost

I’ve fallen far

Before God healed every scar

I’ve felt weak

Before I heard God speak

I’ve wondered what’s for me

What’s truly meant to be

Before my divine purpose

Rose to the surface

I’ve had my frown

Turned upside down

I’ve gotten turned around

Before finding solid ground

I’ve grappled with doubt

Before God worked things out

I’ve grappled with fear

Before God held me near

God opened my eyes

To a wonderful surprise

I’m coming out of the dark

I’ve felt weak

Before hearing God speak

I’ve searched for a place

Filled with mercy and grace

Before God gave me a home

Where my soul can roam

I’ve said a silent prayer

Wondered if God was there

Until God healed my soul

Then made me whole

I’ve wondered if this journey

Is meant for me only

Until God set my path

Without unleashing His wrath

I’ve looked straight ahead

While filled with dread

Before God filled the dreams

That make me burst at the seams

I’ve wondered what’s by design

If everything is fine

Until God filled my core

Before offering me more

He opened my eyes

To a wonderful surprise

I’m coming out of the dark

This Love

This love

Brings us sunny days

Along with God’s loving ways

It gives us purpose

As we look below the surface

It offers perfect peace

Our hearts won’t release

It reveals what’s in stone

It never leaves us alone

It gives us strength

As we talk at length

It fills our core

Before God offers us more

It gives us pleasure

Beyond all measure

It lifts us up

It fills our cup

It fills the home

Where our souls freely roam

It travels with us

In God we trust

It reveals what’s real

Things we can’t conceal

It’s warm and pure

It makes us feel secure

This love

Helps us stand

As we hold God’s hand

It shows God’s power

Hour after hour

It shares the journey

Meant just for us only

It makes us smile

Even laugh a little while

It builds the dreams

That makes us burst at the seams

It makes us see

What’s meant to be

It removes all doubt

That things will work out

It’s a blessing granted

We’ll water the seeds we planted

It offers a surprise

Every time we open our eyes

It reveals the steps we take

All the memories we’ll make

It’s what we hold

As our story is told

It starts all over again

Cause with faith we’ll win
