The darkness pulls at my feet
Whispers into me I’m in this alone
But I can’t let it get the best of me
Oh I really want to believe
Your faithful love is strong
So let the voices of fear
Breathe their cold and empty words
For when I lift up my eyes I see the forest through the trees
So come and fill me with your light
I need for you to be my hearts delight
Oh God I want so much to know
The beauty of your love
But I don’t have the strength inside
So let the darkness bring me to my knees
So the voices inside me will be silent, Yours be strong
Oh I won’t let it get the best of me
‘Cause I really believe, your love is strong
When the voices of fear
Breathe their cold and empty words
I will lift my eyes, You’ll be the force inside of me
So come and fill me with Your light
I need for You to be my heart’s delight
Oh God, I want to so much to know the beauty of Your love
But I don’t have the strength inside
But this is what I was made to do
To cry out, to realize my desperate need for You
So come and fill me with Your light
I mean it when I say You are my heart’s delight
Oh God, I want to so much to show the beauty of Your love
But I don’t have the strength inside
So let the darkness pull at my feet
The voice inside of me is stronger than the lies
Oh You won’t let it get the best of me
Because Lord I really believe Your faithful love is strong
So come and fill me with Your light
I mean it when I say You are my heart’s delight
Oh God, I want to so much to show the beauty of Your love
But I don’t have the strength inside
