VERSE 1:
            C2           G/B           D9        G/B
  There's a place in the darkness that I used to cling to
     C2            G/B  C2  D9
  It presses harsh hope against time
         C2         G/B               D9          G/B
  In the absence of martyrs there's a presence of thieves
          C2      G/B  C2  D9
  Who only want to rob you blind
            C2 G/B D9          G/B
  They steal away any sense of peace
               C2         G/B  C2  D9
  Though I'm a king I'm a king on my knees
        C2             G/B            D9       Em
  And I know they are wrong when they say I am strong
         C       D       G
  As the darkness covers me

BRIDGE:
     D                     C9             G
  So turn on the light and reveal all the glory
  D         C9    G
  I am not afraid
     D                    C9         G
  To bare all my weakness knowing in meekness
  Em                  D
  I have a kingdom to gain

CHORUS:
                 G         D           C9           D
  Where there is peace and love in the light in the light
    G    D     C9
  Oh I am not afraid
              G           D            C9         D
  To let Your light shine bright in my life in my life
    G  D  C9        G  D  C9
  Oh I... am,       I...

--> REPEAT INTRO

VERSE 2:
  There are ghosts from my past who've 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 till pallid and thin
  Hung my head in shame and refused to take blame
  For darkness I know I've let win

--> REPEAT BRIDGE AND CHORUS

TAG:  C2, G/B (ends with D9)
  Can you hear me?

VERSE 3:
  Well I've never been much for the baring of soul
  In the presence of any man
  I'd rather keep to myself all safe and secure
  In the arms of a sinner I am
  Could it be that my worth should depend
  By the crimson stained grace on a hand
  And like a lamp on a hill Lord I pray in Your will
  To reveal all of You that I can

--> REPEAT BRIDGE AND CHORUS

OUTRO:
  There's a place in the darkness that I used to cling to
  It presses harsh hope against time
