Lyrics

Through the Pitch of Darkness

Verse 1:
There's something more beautiful than the sunrise, the sunset, and the smell of the rain.
There's something more peaceful than the voice of a mother, a hug from a father,
and it's the sight of the Lord.

There is no one here like our sweet Saviour, Jesus;
A caring, divine One who laid down His life for His dear friends.
Today, tomorrow, and the days of the past, He remains the same;
A gentle guide through this pitch of darkness.

Chorus:
Our light in the darkness, O sweet Jesus;
You have saved us from the snares of this darkness.
O sweet Jesus, beautiful Saviour;
You have saved us from the world.

Verse 2:
Holy, You are Holy, Jesus;
Teach us Your ways, Lord.
Mighty, You are mighty, O Saviour.
We sing Your praise, Lord.

On our bended knees, we cry out;
Lord, come, pour Your Spirit upon us.
On our bended knees, we cry out;
Lord, come, pour Your Spirit upon us. *Chorus*
