My troubled soul, crying in the darkness
Longing for a touch of love to turn my night to day
A stronger hold, someone to help me stand
I know that out there somewhere there is a better way
There is a place, a land that knows no darkness
Where sorrows never get you down and teardrops never fall
No pain to grip the body, no sin to grieve the soul
My redeemer reigns there giving joy and peace to all
Jesus. Jesus
I've failed You more than once today
Now on bended knees I pray
Again I let this world pull me away
Jesus. Sweet Jesus
I pray to You for mercies sake
And for Your redeeming grace
Help me somehow find the strength to try and make it
One more day.
There was a man tempted just like me
Despised and rejected and acquainted with grief
He carried all my burdens up the hill to Calvary
An offering for sin; He died to set my spirit free
