There was a time, there was a season I did not know my left from my right And all I wanted baby Was to just get through the night Too many clouds, fog in the daytime Took so long for me to see the light And all I ever wanted Was to make it through the night Though I had eyes, I could not see Though I could walk, I stumbled blind Until you came and rescued me Lord, the world can be so unkind There was a day, there was a vision It came and I finally got my sight God of mercy You brought me safely through the night
