It’s been a long
It’s been a long and lonely night
And I’ve tossed and turned
And prayed for light
My tears have dried
But my strength is spent
And my faith has been
Stretched dangerously thin
But slowly, ever so slowly
I’m getting ready to open up my eyes
Your mercy is new every morning
It’s got me believing the sun is gonna rise
And I believe, I believe
I’ve never been so desperate to believe
Here in the dark, Your light is flooding through my soul
With strength for today and
Bright hope, bright hope
And it has been,
Well it’s been an uphill fight
So much dark, so little light
But I know You’ll redeem
Every heartache that I’ve known
Your faithfulness is my bright hope
And I believe, I believe
I’ve never been so desperate to believe
Here in the dark, Your light is flooding through my soul
With strength for today and
Bright hope, bright hope
How to forgive what I can’t forget
That is a skill that I have not acquired yet
But this bitterness will surely poison me
Give me the grace to just surrender to Your peace
And slowly, ever so slowly
I’m getting ready to open up my eyes
Your mercy is new every morning
It’s got me believing the sun will surely rise
And I believe, I believe
I’ve never been so desperate to believe
Here in the dark, Your light is flooding through my soul
With strength for today and
Bright hope, bright hope
Bright hope, bright hope
