marvelous light

i am not who i once was

defined by all the things i've done

afraid my shame would be exposed

afraid of really being known

but then you gave my heart a home

so i walked out of the darkness and into the light

from fear of shame into the hope of life

mercy called my name and made a way to fly

out of the darkness and into the light

with years of keeping secrets safe

wondering if i could change

'cause when you're hiding all alone

your heart can turn into a stone

and that's not the way i want to go

so i walk out of the darkness and into the light

from fear of shame into the hope of life

mercy called my name and made a way to fly

out of the darkness and into the light

there's no place i would rather be

your light is marvelous

your light is marvelous

you have come to set us free

you are marvelous

your light is marvelous

so i walked out of the darkness and into the light

from fear of shame into the hope of life

mercy called my name and made a way to fly

out of the darkness and into the light
