Take Me Out Of The Dark

(albüm: I Will Be Here - 2002)

Just what is it in me
Sometimes I just don't know
What keeps me in your love
Why you never let me go
And though you're in me now
I fall and hurt you still
My Lord, please show me how
To know just how you feel
'Cause you have forgiven me
Too many times, it seems
I feel I'm not what you might call
A worthy Christian after all
And though I love you so
Temptation finds its way to me

Teach me to trust in you with all of my heart
To lean not on my own understanding
'Cause I just forget
You won't give me what I can't bear
Take me out of the dark, my Lord
I don't wanna be there, no no no more

You've never left my side
You gave your hand to me
To hold, oh Jesus
I'm no longer in the cold
And yet, I leave you there
When I feel satisfied
I'd like to thank you everyday
Not only when I feel this way
I've never known a man
Who'd give his life for sinners like me
And yet because he loves us so
He's promised us eternity
And we can have that promise and be His
If we have faith and just believe

Teach me to trust in you with all of my heart
To lean not on my own understanding
'Cause I just forget
You won't give me what I can't bear
Take me out of the dark, my Lord
'Cause I don't wanna be alone
Take me out of the dark, my Lord
I don't wanna be there, no no
My Lord

Teach me to trust in you with all of my heart
To lean not on my own understanding
'Cause I just forget
That you won't give me what I can't bear
Take me out of the dark, my Lord
'Cause I don't wanna be alone
I don't wanna be there no more
May your glory be yours, my King, my Lord
