Darkness was a demon that I came to know,
Locked up in a world without a key.
Taking me to places that I never meant to go,
I'm afraid it's been makin' me
A little bit crazy.
Now I'm the first to tell You that I need to change.
I can see it clearly in my mind.
Cleaning out the dusty rooms that remain,
I can leave those burdens far behind.
A different man.
CHORUS:
Openin' up my heart
Knowin' that You'll be there.
Take yesterday from me, and all of my memories,
Never again to bear.
Take this sinner's prayer. Take this sinner's prayer.
Where I've been, I tell You, You don't want to be.
Images I've fought to leave behind.
Through it all there is one thing I can see,
A stronger hand is lifting me on high.
Take me Father.
Repeat CHORUS
Take me now,
Hear my cry.
Come and do what You do.
Makin' me new to start again.
