[Verse 1]
Headlines screaming at the ceiling
Phone light burns my tired eyes
Every shadow has a story
Every story bends the line
I’ve been walking through the static
Lost in everybody’s noise
Then Your name cuts through the chaos
Like a fire in my lungs
In my voice (hey!)
[Pre-Chorus]
All my doubts keep drawing knives
All my fears keep staking claims
But Your mercy hits like sunrise
Paints a cross upon the flames
[Chorus]
You’re the light in the blackout
Breaking through the smoke and the sirens
You’re the truth when I back down
When I shake
You’re the rock I stand in
Every scar
Every tear
Every night I fall apart
You burn bright
You burn bright in my heart
You’re the light in the blackout
Leading every broken soul home
[Verse 2]
I still stumble in the hallway
Trip on every old regret
Some days faith feels paper-thin
Like it’s gonna tear and shred
But You meet me in the failure
In the questions I don’t say
Turn my fear into a lantern
For the ones who lost their way (oh-oh)
[Pre-Chorus]
All the chains I dragged for years
Start to rattle
Start to break
As Your love floods all my fractures
Every wound becomes a wake
[Chorus]
You’re the light in the blackout
Breaking through the smoke and the sirens
You’re the truth when I back down
When I shake
You’re the rock I stand in
Every scar
Every tear
Every night I fall apart
You burn bright
You burn bright in my heart
You’re the light in the blackout
Leading every broken soul home
[Bridge]
I was buried in the shadows
You called my name
I came alive
Now I’m holding up a candle
In the middle of the fire
Let my story be a doorway
Let my weakness be the sign
Pointing every restless heartbeat
To the One who never hides (yeah)
[Chorus]
You’re the light in the blackout
Breaking through the smoke and the sirens
You’re the hope when I lock out
When I run
You’re the arms I fall in
Every scar
Every tear
Every night we fall apart
You burn bright
You burn bright in our hearts
You’re the light in the blackout
Jesus
You are leading us home
