Take Me Out Of The Dark Lyrics Just what is it in me Sometimes I just don't know What keeps me in your love Why you never let me go And though you're in me now I fall and hurt you still My Lord, please show me how To know just how you feel You have forgiven me Too many times, it seems I feel I'm not what you might call A worthy Christian after all And though I love you so Temptation finds its way to me (Chorus 1) Teach me to trust in you with all of my heart To lean not on my own understanding I just forget You won't give me what I can't bear Take me out of the dark, my Lord I don't wanna be there Ooh Ohoo You've never left my side You gave your hand to me To hold you, Oh Jesus I'm no longer in the cold And yet I leave you there When I feel satisfied I'd like to thank you everyday Not only when I feel that way I've never known a man who'd give his life For sinners like me And yet because he loves us so He's promised us eternity And we can have that promise and be His If we have faith and just believe (Chorus 2) Teach us to trust in you with all of our heart To lean not on our own understanding 'Cause we just forget You won't give us what we can't bear Take us out of the dark, my Lord 'Coz we don't want to be alone Take us out of the dark, my Lord We don't wanna be there Yeah, my Lord Trust in you with all of my heart Lean not on my own understanding 'Cause I just forget You won't give me what I can't bear Take me out of the dark, my Lord Cause we don't want to be alone Take me out of the dark, my Lord I don't wanna be there Ooh hoo ooh hoo...

[@teuriseutanyul]

I remember that I found it during the height of pandemic and repeatedly played it when I am hardly wishing and praying for something. This song gave me hope and let me surrender all my worries to God. Thankfully that time, my prayers are answered. I always come back to this video if I am down and wanted to remind myself that I am not alone. 🙏
