Keep the Light In Sight
If I do, I hope that I
Exit in the presence
of Jesus Christ
we go far back
do he and I
for his greater mercy
once saved my life
Five long lost years
have past since then
I gave my all
so he forgave my sins
a weary soul, crucified
I hope he's holding me
the day I die
I tried my damndest
to find the light
and when I found it
kept it in sight
it's never left me
I know I'm right
come try and take it
I'll end your night
I look up fondly
to the sky
an understanding
between he and I
one time I asked him
lend me his eyes
and I saw a world
left cold and dry
In conversation
we talk, no words
he understands me
when I'm most unheard
think I'm absurd
what are you?
a higher being?
still much confused
You think the answer
lies in your ways
I think the Devil
must be repaid
he'll collect heavy
your wasted time
as you spend eternity
at his side
I see a servant
for wickedness
try to distract me
one more dismissed
I keep on walking
through the night
as I keep his spirit
so well alive
I wear your pride
inside my skin
as you race to the finish
I just begin
to be a soldier
alone with the night
nothing to warm me
but his light in sight.
