in deepest darkness lies in wait a captor seething filled with hate i know not when his voice will sing the lies that draw me from my king i have not strength to turn and flee but christ the son alive in me he fills me with his peace and rest and trades my shame for righteousness though times i listen to the words of one deceiving there is heard a gentle call a calming plea oh please my child come back to me and in that moment i find there neither reproach nor deep despair but healing hands to lift my head my father s loving arms instead he sings the song of grace to me the blood of christ which sets me free i am forgiven and i know his love can never let me go his spirit keeps me and proclaims there is no end to jesus reign until he comes that glorious day in him i live and ever stay his spirit keeps me and proclaims there is no end to jesus reign until he comes that glorious day in him i live and ever stay
