| Just another homesick child, tired of running wild
|
| Ready to stand trial and move on
|
| Though I’m guilty in your sight, have some mercy tonight
|
| I can’t make it through this fight all alone
|
| But, oh, Lord, don’t make it easy
|
| Keep me working till I work it all out
|
| But please, please won’t you shine enough light on me?
|
| Till I’m free from this shadow of doubt
|
| Keep me out of this shadow of doubt
|
| As I try to make some sense of this world I’m up against
|
| Well, I know my best defense is your love
|
| When the struggle gets insane and the lesson’s full of pain
|
| Keep me calling out your name with love
|
| But, oh, Lord, don’t make it easy
|
| Keep me working till I work it all out
|
| But please, please won’t you shine enough light on me
|
| Till I’m free from this shadow of doubt
|
| Keep me out of this shadow of doubt
|
| Well, I whisper in the dark from the bottom of my heart
|
| And I’m searchin' for one star to shine
|
| I will shout from mountain high and I’ll reach into the sky
|
| Till you open up my eyes so blind
|
| But, oh, Lord, don’t make it easy
|
| Keep me working till I work it all out
|
| But please, please won’t you shine enough light on me
|
| Till I’m free from this shadow of doubt
|
| Keep me out of this shadow of doubt |
