Martyrs and Thieves · letra

There's a place in the darkness that I used to cling to It presses harsh hope against time In the absence of martyrs there's a presence of thieves Who only want to rob you blind They steal away any sense of peace Though I'm a king I'm a king on my knees And I know they are wrong when they say I am strong As the darkness covers me
Chorus-
So turn on the light and reveal all the glory I am not afraid To bare all my weakness knowing in meekness I have a kingdom to gain Where there is peace and love in the light, in the light Oh I am not afraid To let Your light shine bright in my life, in my life Oh I... am, I...
There are ghosts from my past who've owned more of my soul Than I thought I had given away They linger in closets and under my bed And in pictures less proudly displayed A great fool in my life I have been Have squandered till pallid and thin Hung my head in shame and refused to take blame For the darkness I know I've let win
(Chorus)
Can you hear me? (repeat 6x)
Well I've never been much for the baring of soul In the presence of any man I'd rather keep to myself all safe and secure In the arms of a sinner I am Could it be that my worth should depend By the crimson stained grace on a hand And like a lamp on a hill Lord I pray in Your will To reveal all of You that I can
(Chorus)
There's a place in the darkness that I used to cling to It presses harsh hope against time...
