"Across The Dark Night" lyrics

Oh, sweet Lord, I tremble in fear
While the hour grows late
And shadows draw near
I lie awake and burn up the night
As I hold my heart up to your fiery light

I have wandered through the passage of time
Lost in a circus of passions and wine
Like a wayward child I stand at your door
In want of your open arms and nothing more

Oh, sweet Lord, you've stripped my disguise
Broken the spell and opened my eyes
No more can I live in a world of pretend
When so near I am to my long journey's end

I have looked for heaven under the sun
Blinded by wonders that vanish to none
I am ready to be consumed by your fire
A love everlasting is my sole desire

Where else would I go
Who else would I turn to
When I know in my heart
All things begin and end in you

Take my hand and show me the way
Across the dark night to the new light of day
