Deep in the depths of darkness
Lie subjects from the past
That still control the way we feel
In ways that are so vast
Manipulated by the one

Lord, I place You at the head
Of everything I do
Whatever comes along my road
I give it all to You
There is no fear in Jesus Christ
He is my all in all

When things are cloudy, grey and grim
The sunlight gone away
And everything is just hard work
You do not want to play

My people have forsaken Me
They do not want My power
They'd rather live their fruitless lives
Inside their ivory towers
Jesus has been relegated

Dearest Jesus, faithful friend
Why am I holding back
From sinking deep into Your arms
I seem to have the knack
Of putting You right at the end

Who on earth are you trying to be
Someone deep in human pride
Straining,striving endlessly
To right the wrongs you'd like to hide.

What on earth was expected

We have an ark to run to
When things are getting tough
Our lives are full of turmoil
The seas are getting rough
We can rise above the waves

Your life is coming to an end
Your working one, I mean
All those years of toil and strain
Are going to be wiped clean
So while you ponder on the days

What's the use of being frank
When your name is Ted
Driving through life like a tank
Not where you are led
Give again your tepid lives
Strictly to The Lord

You have provided everything
I need to be Your child
And if I start to use it
We can be reconciled
To be in You, to walk in You
Is what I have to do

Someones knocking at your door
He's been standing there for years
Hoping that you'll let Him in
Fighting to control His tears
Because His love for you is vast

Walk along the narrow way
A hurdle comes in view
It seems so insurmountable
What do you tend to do
Do you turn around and go
Back where your walk began

Have I the ability
To see desires of those
Who need, from me, humility
Where once I stood and froze
It would be God given

Take it from me, you're better off
Giving up your struggle
You cannot change your sinful self
So into Christ you snuggle
You bang your head against the wall

I’m standing on the precipice
I’m going to leave my shelf
And launch into the atmosphere
Cause I have died to self
