Out of the Dark
Just what is it in me?
Sometimes I just don’t know
What keeps me in Your love,
Why You never let me go
And though You’re in me now,
I fall and hurt You still
My Lord, please show me how
To know just how You feel
You have forgiven me
Too many times it seems
I feel I’m not what you might call
A worthy Christian after all
And though I love You so
Temptation finds its way to me
Teach me to trust in You With all my heart
To lean not on my own understanding
I just forget You won’t give me what I can’t bear
Take me out of the dark, my Lord
I don’t wanna be there
- Gary Valenciano, excerpt from “Take Me Out of the Dark”
