Shine a Light in the Darkness by Rick Lee James Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You've been ignoring the truth you know
Been a pretender for way too long
You’ve gotta be what you claim to be
Are you a son of hell or a child of the King?
[Verse 2]
After the lies you said were true
The compromise you waved on through
I know you're wishing for something new
But the ancient roads are calling you
Yeah, the same old love is crying out to you, saying
[Chorus]
Where there is hatred let us love
Where there is doubt let us trust
Where there is cursing let us bless
Let us bravely walk through the shadow of death
Shine a light in the darkness
[Verse 3]
You've burned bridges and destroyed the roads
There’s nowhere left for you to go
You've held grudges and their dragging you down
If you don't let go then you're sure to drown
But it's not too late to turn it all around
[Chorus]
Where there is hatred let us love
Where there is doubt let us trust
Where there is cursing let us bless
Let us bravely walk through the shadow of death
Shine a light in the darkness
[Bridge]
It's time to let all the fighting cease
Take up your cross and follow me (Follow me)
Come on and see what see what love can bring
The lame to walk, the blind to see
The deaf to hear, the mute to speak
The mourners cheer, the lepers clean
The prisoners set free
[Chorus]
Where there is hatred let us love
Where there is doubt let us trust
Where there is cursing let us bless
Let us bravely walk through the shadow of death
Shine a light in the darkness
[Outro]
Shine a light in the darkness
Shine a light
You've been ignoring the truth you know
Been a pretender for way too long
You’ve gotta be what you claim to be
Are you a son of hell or a child of the King?
[Verse 2]
After the lies you said were true
The compromise you waved on through
I know you're wishing for something new
But the ancient roads are calling you
Yeah, the same old love is crying out to you, saying
[Chorus]
Where there is hatred let us love
Where there is doubt let us trust
Where there is cursing let us bless
Let us bravely walk through the shadow of death
Shine a light in the darkness
[Verse 3]
You've burned bridges and destroyed the roads
There’s nowhere left for you to go
You've held grudges and their dragging you down
If you don't let go then you're sure to drown
But it's not too late to turn it all around
[Chorus]
Where there is hatred let us love
Where there is doubt let us trust
Where there is cursing let us bless
Let us bravely walk through the shadow of death
Shine a light in the darkness
[Bridge]
It's time to let all the fighting cease
Take up your cross and follow me (Follow me)
Come on and see what see what love can bring
The lame to walk, the blind to see
The deaf to hear, the mute to speak
The mourners cheer, the lepers clean
The prisoners set free
[Chorus]
Where there is hatred let us love
Where there is doubt let us trust
Where there is cursing let us bless
Let us bravely walk through the shadow of death
Shine a light in the darkness
[Outro]
Shine a light in the darkness
Shine a light
