There's a place in the darkness that I used to cling to
That presses harsh hope against time. In the absence of martyrs there's a presence of thieves Who only want to rob you blind. They steal away any sense of peace. Tho' I'm a king I'm a king on my knees. And I know they are wrong when they say I am strong As the darkness covers me. So turn on the light and reveal all the glory. I am not afraid. To bear all my weakness, knowing in meekness, I have a kingdom to gain. Where there is peace and love in the light In the light, I am not afraid To let your light shine bright in my life, in my life There are ghosts from my past who've owned more of my soul Than I thought I had given away. They linger in closets and under my bed And in pictures less proudly displayed. A great fool in my life I have been Have squandered 'til pallid and thin. Hung my head in shame and refused to take blame For the darkness I know I've let win. So turn on the light and reveal all the glory. I am not afraid To bear all my weakness, knowing in meekness, I have a kingdom to gain. Where there is peace and love in the light In the light , I am not afraid To let your light shine bright in my life, in my life Can you hear me? Can you hear me? I've never been much for the bearing of soul In the presence of any man. I'd rather keep to myself all safe and secure In the arms of a sinner I am. Could it be that my worth should depend By the crimson stained grace on a hand? And like a lamp on a hill Lord I pray in your will To reveal all of you that I can. So turn on the light and reveal all the glory. I am not afraid. To bear all my weakness, knowing in meekness, I have a kingdom to gain. Where there is peace and love in the light In the light , I am not afraid To let your light shine bright in my life, in my life There's a place in the darkness that I used to cling to That presses harsh hope against time. - Jennifer Knapp
