A Light in the Darkness Lyrics

Be for me, O Lord,
My perfection in my maculation,
My stronghold amid the storm
My solace, a Light in the darkness
Keep me from the throes of agony
And shield my ears from the lies of my enemies
You have been my joy in sorrow
My speech in bitter quietude
My sight in my blindness
You are the quenching of my thirst
The food and drink for my sustenance
The very air I breathe
Your acts of love number greater
Than the grains of sand on every shore
How glorious it is / how great thou art
You make the very mountains sing the eulogies of Heaven
A poet’s word can scarce do justice
To the essence of your love
Christ I am yours
I weep for I cannot hope to repay thee
Inconceivable is the freedom of acceptance
Guide me through the dark valley
The paths of thorns, the ways of burning coals
Lead this weary soul home
Be my strength.
