You've awakened me to your beauty And i know your peace that surpasses everything I knew and understood And i trust your hand The grass withers and the flowers But you have made them so they bloom again And thought it may seem dark In the dead of night You are with me through the dawn Your light illumines all that was darkness The dirt has been washed away And darkness put off for day 'Cause you have brought me where There's no need to fear Anything or man You made me so i can dance and sing to you A song anew each passing day It's your word that guides me To your light and keeps me there And i know it's better 'Cause i remember the burden of my chains Your light illumines all that was darkness The dirt has been washed away And darkness put off for day Your light illumines all that was darkness The dirt has been washed away And darkness put off for day And i hope brings sunny days Without a cloud or a drop of rain But if you form the clouds And the rain's allowed I know your hand has brought these things Your word is all that i can cling to in the storm And you use it Lord to give me ears to hear And faith when i can't see Your light illumines all that was darkness The dirt has been washed away And darkness put off for day
