[Verse 1]
          C2           G/B
There’s a place in the darkness
     Dsus4      G/B
That I used to cling to
   C2            G/B          Dsus4
It presses harsh hope against time
       C2         G/B
In the absence of martyrs
          Dsus4           G/B
There’s a presence of thieves
        C2    G/B          Dsus4
Who only want to rob you blind
            C2  G/B  Dsus4        G/B
They steal away      any sense of peace
             C2         G/B        Dsus4
Though I’m a king I’m a king on my knees
      C2            G/B
And I know they are wrong
          Dsus4        Em7
When they say that I’m strong
       C        D         G
As the darkness    covers me

[Pre-Chorus]
   D                       Cadd9        G
So turn on the light and reveal all the glory
D     Cadd9 G
I am not afraid
   D           Cadd9     G
To bare all my weakness, knowing in meekness
Em7                 D
I have a kingdom to gain

[Chorus]
               G         D           Cadd9         D
Where there is peace and love in the light (in the light oh)
G      D      Cadd9
  I am  not afraid
            G           D             Cadd9       D
To let your light shine bright in my life (in my life oh)
G     D  Cadd9 G  D Cadd9 D
  I...

[Verse 2]
          C2             G/B
There are ghosts from my past
             Dsus4         G/B
Who’ve owned more of my soul
       C2            G/B    Dsus4
Than I thought I had given away
     C2        G/B
They linger in closets
    Dsus4    G/B
And under my bed
       C2            G/B        Dsus4
And in pictures less proudly displayed
        C2 G/B       Dsus4       G/B
A great fool   in my life have I been
     C2              G/B        Dsus4
Have squandered till pallid and thin
     C2         G/B
Hung my head in shame
      Dsus4         Em7
And refused to take blame
        C          D             G
For the darkness I know I’ve let win

[Pre-Chorus]
   D                       Cadd9        G
So turn on the light and reveal all the glory
D     Cadd9 G
 I am not afraid
   D           Cadd9     G
To bare all my weakness, knowing in meekness
Em7                 D
I have a kingdom to gain

[Chorus]
               G         D           Cadd9         D
Where there is peace and love in the light (in the light oh)
G      D      Cadd9
  I am  not afraid
            G           D             Cadd9       D
To let your light shine bright in my life (in my life oh)
G     D  Cadd9 G  D Cadd9 D
  I...

[Bridge]
        G
Can you hear me?
        G
Can you hear me?

        G
Can you hear me?
        G
Can you hear me?
        G
Can you hear me?
        G    D
Can you hear me?

[Verse 3]
           C2         G/B
Well, I’ve never been much
        Dsus4     G/B
For the baring of souls
       C2          G/B     Dsus4
In the presence of     any man
           C2        G/B
I’d rather keep to myself
    Dsus4      G/B
All safe and secure
       C2          G/B      Dsus4
In the arms of the sinner I am
        C2 G/B       Dsus4          G/B
Could it be    that my worth should depend
       C2              G/B        Dsus4
On the crimson-stained grace on a hand?
       C2        G/B
Like a lamp on a hill
        Dsus4        Em7
Lord, I pray in your will
     C           D           G
To reveal all of you that I can

[Pre-Chorus]
   D                       Cadd9        G
So turn on the light and reveal all the glory
D     Cadd9 G
 I am not afraid
   D           Cadd9     G
To bare all my weakness, knowing in meekness
Em7                 D
I have a kingdom to gain

[Chorus]
               G         D           Cadd9         D
Where there is peace and love in the light (in the light oh)
G      D      Cadd9
  I am  not afraid
            G           D             Cadd9       D
To let your light shine bright in my life (in my life oh)
G     D  Cadd9 G  D Cadd9 D
  I...

[Outro]
          C2           G/B
There’s a place in the darkness
     Dsus4      G/B
That I used to cling to
   C2            G/B          Dsus4
It presses harsh hope against time
