[Verse 1]
C2 G/B
There’s a place in the darkness
Dsus4 G/B
That I used to cling to
C2 G/B Dsus4
It presses harsh hope against time
C2 G/B
In the absence of martyrs
Dsus4 G/B
There’s a presence of thieves
C2 G/B Dsus4
Who only want to rob you blind
C2 G/B Dsus4 G/B
They steal away any sense of peace
C2 G/B Dsus4
Though I’m a king I’m a king on my knees
C2 G/B
And I know they are wrong
Dsus4 Em7
When they say that I’m strong
C D G
As the darkness covers me
[Pre-Chorus]
D Cadd9 G
So turn on the light and reveal all the glory
D Cadd9 G
I am not afraid
D Cadd9 G
To bare all my weakness, knowing in meekness
Em7 D
I have a kingdom to gain
[Chorus]
G D Cadd9 D
Where there is peace and love in the light (in the light oh)
G D Cadd9
I am not afraid
G D Cadd9 D
To let your light shine bright in my life (in my life oh)
G D Cadd9 G D Cadd9 D
I...
[Verse 2]
C2 G/B
There are ghosts from my past
Dsus4 G/B
Who’ve owned more of my soul
C2 G/B Dsus4
Than I thought I had given away
C2 G/B
They linger in closets
Dsus4 G/B
And under my bed
C2 G/B Dsus4
And in pictures less proudly displayed
C2 G/B Dsus4 G/B
A great fool in my life have I been
C2 G/B Dsus4
Have squandered till pallid and thin
C2 G/B
Hung my head in shame
Dsus4 Em7
And refused to take blame
C D G
For the darkness I know I’ve let win
[Pre-Chorus]
D Cadd9 G
So turn on the light and reveal all the glory
D Cadd9 G
I am not afraid
D Cadd9 G
To bare all my weakness, knowing in meekness
Em7 D
I have a kingdom to gain
[Chorus]
G D Cadd9 D
Where there is peace and love in the light (in the light oh)
G D Cadd9
I am not afraid
G D Cadd9 D
To let your light shine bright in my life (in my life oh)
G D Cadd9 G D Cadd9 D
I...
[Bridge]
G
Can you hear me?
G
Can you hear me?
G
Can you hear me?
G
Can you hear me?
G
Can you hear me?
G D
Can you hear me?
[Verse 3]
C2 G/B
Well, I’ve never been much
Dsus4 G/B
For the baring of souls
C2 G/B Dsus4
In the presence of any man
C2 G/B
I’d rather keep to myself
Dsus4 G/B
All safe and secure
C2 G/B Dsus4
In the arms of the sinner I am
C2 G/B Dsus4 G/B
Could it be that my worth should depend
C2 G/B Dsus4
On the crimson-stained grace on a hand?
C2 G/B
Like a lamp on a hill
Dsus4 Em7
Lord, I pray in your will
C D G
To reveal all of you that I can
[Pre-Chorus]
D Cadd9 G
So turn on the light and reveal all the glory
D Cadd9 G
I am not afraid
D Cadd9 G
To bare all my weakness, knowing in meekness
Em7 D
I have a kingdom to gain
[Chorus]
G D Cadd9 D
Where there is peace and love in the light (in the light oh)
G D Cadd9
I am not afraid
G D Cadd9 D
To let your light shine bright in my life (in my life oh)
G D Cadd9 G D Cadd9 D
I...
[Outro]
C2 G/B
There’s a place in the darkness
Dsus4 G/B
That I used to cling to
C2 G/B Dsus4
It presses harsh hope against time

There's a place in the darkness I use to cling to
That 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
So I turn on the light and reveal all the glory
I am not afraid to bear all my weakness
Knowing in meekness, I have a kingdom to gain
Where there is peace and love in the light
In the light, I am not afraid
To let your light shine bright in my life, in my life
There are ghosts from my past who have 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 'til pallid and thin
Hung my head in shame and refused to take blame
From darkness I know, I've let win
Can you hear me? Can you hear me?
