Out of Darkness

Into the depths of darkness

Into the shadowland

With no choice but to wander

And to strain to understand

Cringing to cling to an ember

Struggling to see in the night

Caught in a void of chaos

Blind even though eyes have sight

There is One who comes to call us

Out of  darkness to marvelous light

There is One who comes to save us

By His glorious power and might.

Once lost in a fatal delusion

Nowhere to go or to turn

Feeling the deep pangs of hunger

Roiling in a heart that yearns 

This deadly darkness He invaded

True Truth to illuminate

Out of the darkness He calls us

Into a glorious state.

There is One who comes to call us

Out of  darkness to marvelous light

There is One who comes to save us

By His glorious power and might.

Bridge

Out of the darkness into the light

Into His glory where faith becomes sight

Out of the shadows stumbling in the night

Out of the graveyard to skies shining bright

There is One who comes to call us

Out of  darkness to marvelous light

There is One who comes to save us

By His glorious power and might.
