Alone in darkness there I stood
Blind to all around me
Deaf to the world
that surrounded me
Lost down in the depths of sin
Not knowing the state that I was in (mmmmm)
At first a soft sound reached my ear A kind and gentle
voice I could hear
Then a little light began to appear
Growing brighter
as it drew near
In this light stood a holy man
He walked closer
and held out His hand
All the while
calling my name
Saying child,
you're the reason I
came
(you're the reason I came)
As we stood there face to face
He told me of unending grace
He spoke of a peace
that I had never known
And He showed me an eternal home
Spoke of joy and through the strife
Promised forever
with eternal life
He showed me the spots
where they drove the nails
A pure love
that never fails
High on a tree
of timber and wood
He cried it is finished
And made His promise good
In that light stood a holy man
He drew close
and held out His hand
All the while
calling my name Saying child,
you're the reason I
came
(you're the reason I came) (oh,
calling my name)
He made His promise good
(mmmmm) Yes He did
