Heaven in Darkness

Lyrics:

When it’s dark, I turn to you
and your halo lights my way
Then your hand, it pulls me through
the shadow upon this day

I drop my head and bend my knees
I long for you to stay
But you don’t – you won’t
You pick me up and carry me away

If you’re painting my tomorrow
I will never fear today
And I’ll soon forget my sorrows
And the tears you’ve wiped away

I drop my head and bend my knees
I long for you to stay
But you don’t – you won’t
You pick me up and carry me away

So often I have rested on your
promise to be near
I have no eyes for wandering
Your love for me is here
And even though these troubles come and go
I will know
that heaven is so close
That heaven is so close

Take me home

For many years, I’ve traveled down this long and winding road.
If I never find the answer, take me home.

My body aches from walking, blistered heels have made me slow.
If I never reach the good land, take me home.

There’s no reason for distractions – how the world just breaks my hands.
I don’t need another fracture, take me home.

I’ve heard so many things here that I wish I could forget.
If I never hear the bells ring, take me home.

Take me home
Take me home
If I never hear the bells ring
Take me home

There are daisies here beside me growing tall to heaven’s floor.
If I let this place surround me, take me home.

Many turns have left me weary. Any day now I could fail.
If I can’t see my way clearly, take me home.

My comfort is forgiveness through the Lord’s amazing grace.
If I ever cease to witness, take me home.

Over bridges, under trees – how your love has kept me safe.
If I lose the love within me, take me home.

Take me home
Take me home
If I should lose the love within me
Take me home
