This is my cry in the dark
In the blackest of nights
As fire comes from a spark

Set my soul alight
In the beginning was the word
So much has gotten in the way

After everything I've learned
I can't bring myself to pray


(REFRAIN)
Still here I kneel
My humble head bowed

Broken heart in your hands
Begging you aloud
Show mercy please

Hear me out
Come down from that tree
Lift my father up

Send my sister love
bring my brother hope
make sure my mother knows

that her son will be alright
there's no need to cry
if you are who you say

then show me today

Prove you have a plan

To make everyone fall in line
Somehow make me understand
How love can be a crime

For every truth that's been obscured
Surely something has survived
For the meek who have endured

You've promised to provide

REFRAIN


Take the condition out of love
A promise divine

Has been twisted and corrupt
Salvation for a price
Show mercy please

God Hear me out
Come down from that tree


Lift my father up
Send my sister love
bring my brother hope

make sure my mother knows
that her sons will be alright
there's no need to cry

if you are who you say
then show me today


They say all roads lead back to you
And someday all will see
How I need this to be true

Won't you make me believe

I'm determined here to stand

Whether you'll deliver me or not
An awful roar in my head
And a song in my heart
