The Darkness Inside

Lord, it's me on my knees again

Bearing all my guilt, crying out your name

You know me better than I know myself

I'm lost inside this shadowed game

Friends see a man of strength and grace

But behind this smile, there's a darker place

I can't blame the devil, wish I could blame

This darkness is carved from my own shame

I'm reaching out, can't do it alone

Seeking your love, to call my own

Wash me in your mercy's flow

Make my spirit whole and grow

Pour your love into me, let it overflow

Drown out the dark, let your blessings show

Spill your grace to those I hold dear

Your love's the only hope I fear

Every day I fight this fight

Struggling to walk in your light

Deserving? No, but I believe

Your love is what I need to believe

I'm reaching out, can't do it alone

Seeking your love, to call my own

Wash me in your mercy's flow

Make my spirit whole and grow

Pour your love into me, let it overflow

Drown out the dark, let your blessings show

Spill your grace to those I hold dear

Your love's the only hope I fear

In my weakness, you're my strength

My broken heart, you'll mend at length

No shame in falling to my knees

Your love can set my spirit free

Lord, I know I don't deserve your grace

But I long to see your loving face

Hold me close, don't let me go

Your light's the only way I know
