Deeper and farther I fled
Far away from the light
Deeper and darker I wandered
Into the webs of night
I am Your child
To You I am not lost
Your powerful love is the greatest
It covered all my debts and cost
Help me Father as I sink in
Further and further into sin
Or it may be the persecution
Of my enemies
Despair a choking hold
And lies a cloudy mist
Everything is choking, blinding
An answer to my Flesh
It's darkest wish
Let Your light come forth to save me
I am deep under the webs and great are these chains
My throat is dry; I gasp in need
My captivity break
Subtle and rolling are their voices
God, I will hear only Your's
I wish and pray to only be possessed by You
Your Loving Light shine forth
What darkness is my Flesh capable of
Yet this is not my mark
His love for me is not lost
I was bought with His blood
I do not surrender myself to my sin
Only confess my need and persecution
Cleanse me deep within
And drive away my enemies, pursuing
I am haunted in mind, darkness, and dreams
And my hope is twisted; my soul in doubt, wails
But to trust in other than Your Word, only interprets what it seems
You are the God, promised and proved, who never fails
No matter what darkness I've driven myself into
No matter my deep, dark labyrinth created, lost
I confess my need, despise, and forsake
Your blood was the only way that could redeem my cost
You evil, twisted signs and forms
You think that over my soul, you have a claim?
That because I have stood in your presence
That you can enslave me under your names?
In the power of God, I trust in Him
You have no claim over my soul
God has redeemed me from the power of sin
It was He who hath made me whole
God my Father, in humility I cling
There is no strength or authority of my own
But because He will answer me
And He redeems what I have sown
The things I wrought in folly or ignorance
He has redeemed me by His grace
When I confess these lies, I see the demon's bitterness
I am no longer troubled; the light shines down upon me
From His face
Cleanse me Father I pray
For whatever wounds I have taken
Whether this was battle or this was foolishness
Perfect Your strength in my weakness
And redeem
Selah
Many things I have seen with my own eyes
My own folly combined with the folly of man
No longer do I need to know, but better it is to trust in Him
Then to think that I alone can stand
I must take heed lest I fall
I ask once again for Your loving mercy
I will ponder and remind my soul
That You are here to make me whole
If I am broken, Father
And in all my prayers have gone amiss
I have assurance in Your Word that You teach
And that though I have abandoned, You will lead
If I have made myself alone, I know You'll pursue me
And rescue me from the jaws of my enemies surrounding
Send Your light and Your truth
May it disperse the darkness in my mind
The shadows shall flee as well as the night
In the death of my flesh and desires
Life in You I'll find
Selah
So here I lay my head
On my pillow to bow
In past ages, Your people You've led
And again in Your mysterious and faithful love
You will show and demonstrate again to me
Someway, somehow
Whatever discipline lies ahead
It is to guide me back to Your arms
I surrender the state of my life
In Your hands, I am kept from all harm
All things answer to Your Word
These are the promises I have heard
I will remember and not accept the lying shame
To remind my soul, that Faithful and True is Your name
My sun has seemed to set
Without Your Word, no truth is exposed
I call on Your Spirit to fill my tent
And remember and cling solidly to the Rock
Unfading hope
