Take Me 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 find its way to me 

[chorus] 

Teach me to trust in you with all of my heart 

To lean not on my own understanding 

’Cause 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 

No, no, no more 

You’ve never left my side 

You gave your hand to me 

To hold you, 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 everyday 

Not only when I feel this 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 

[chorus] 

Teach us to trust in you with all of our heart 

To lean not on our own understanding 

‘Cause we just forget 

You won’t give us what we can’t bear 

Take us out of the dark, my Lord 

‘Coz we don’t wanna be alone 

Take us out of the dark, my Lord 

We don’t wanna be there 

No, no, my Lord
