Take Me Out of the Dark

Take Me Out of the Dark

by Gary Valenciano

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

You've never left my side

You gave Your hand to me to hold

Oh Jesus, I'm no longer in the cold

And yet, I leave You there

When I feel satisfied

I'd like to thank You every day

Not only when I feel that way

I've never known a Man

Who'd give His life for sinners like me

And yet, because He loves us so

He's promised us eternity

And we can have that promise

And be His if we have faith

And just believe

Teach us to trust in you

With all my heart

To lean not on my own understanding

We just forget

You won't give us what we can't bear

Take us out of the dark, My Lord

'Cause we don't want to be alone

Take me out of the dark, My Lord

We don't wanna be there, My Lord

Trust in You with all my heart

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

Cause we don't want to be alone

Take me out of the dark, My Lord

I don't want to be there
