Walking down life's road I wandered Carelessly each day Thinking I'd reach Heaven's shore But I'd make it my own way But further down the road it grew So dark I could not see I didn't know which way to turn 'Till I fell upon my knees And it dawned on me And the Son came shining through When I knew there was nothing I could do I didn't realize He gave His life Shed His blood to set me free But in my darkest hour it dawned on me They say the darkest hour Comes just before the dawn And sometimes our greatest strength comes When it seems we can't go on So when this old dark world starts closing in Here's what to do Remember life comes from the Son And it will dawn on you Cause it dawned on me And the Son came shining through When I knew there was nothing I could do I didn't realize He gave His life Shed His blood to set me free But in my darkest hour it dawned on me I didn't realize He gave His life Shed his blood to set me free But in my darkest hour it dawned on me
