When there's tear in my eyes, when the hope are too far (lead me where the light is).
God come quickly, Only you can save me.
Will you lead me where the light is.

This is me
Grew up in church
Raised on the gospel trained in the word
Had a faith so fearless thought it was all I needed
But life hit me hard 
More than I planned
It knocked me down
Like an avalanche
On the edge of hopeless I called you from the darkness

God, come quickly
Only You can save me
Will You lead me where the light is
God be with me
Don’t know where I’m going
Will You lead me where the light is
I’ve been living in the dark
I’ve been looking for daylight, You’re my daylight
So God, come quickly
Only You can save me
And lead me where the light is

There’s no hurt
No scar or bruise
There’s not a wound
Too deep for You
‘Cause You’re everything You say you are
You’re bigger than a broken heart
So hear me now, hear me now, I’m calling

God, come quickly
Only You can save me
Will You lead me where the light is
God be with me
Don’t know where I’m going
Will You lead me where the light is
I’ve been living in the dark
I’ve been looking for daylight, You’re my daylight
So God, come quickly
Only You can save me
And lead me where the light is

When I’m lost in the night
When I’m losing the fight
Lead me where the light is
When the tears fill my eyes
When the hope’s hard to find
Lead me where the light is 

God, come quickly
Only You can save me
Will You lead me where the light is
God be with me
Don’t know where I’m going
Will You lead me where the light is
I’ve been living in the dark
I’ve been looking for daylight, You’re my daylight
So God, come quickly
Only You can save me
And lead me where the light is

[Verse 1]
This is me
I grew up in church
Raised on the gospel, trained in the Word
Had a faith so fearless
Thought it was all I needed
But life hit me hard, more than I planned
And it knocked me down, like an avalanche
On the edge of hopeless, I called You from the darkness

[Chorus]
God, come quickly, only You can save me
Will You lead me where the light is?
God be with me, don't know where I'm going
Will You lead me where the light is?
I've been living in the dark, I've been looking for daylight
You're my daylight
So God, come quickly, only You can save me
And lead me where the light is

[Verse 2]
There's no hurt
No scar or bruise
There's not a wound too deep for You
'Cause You're everything You say You are
And You're bigger than a broken heart
So hear me now, hear me now, I'm calling

[Chorus]
God, come quickly, only You can save me
Will You lead me where the light is?
God be with me, don't know where I'm going
Will You lead me where the light is?
I've been living in the dark, I've been looking for daylight
You're my daylight
So God, come quickly, only You can save me
And lead me where the light is


[Bridge]
When I'm lost in the night
When I'm losing the fight
Lead me where the light is
When the tears fill my eyes
When the hope's hard to find
Lead me where the light is

God, come quickly, only You can save me
Will You lead me where the light is?
God be with me, don't know where I'm going
Will You lead me where the light is?
I've been living in the dark, I've been looking for daylight
You're my daylight
So God, come quickly, only You can save me
And lead me where the light is

[Bridge]
When I'm lost in the night
When I'm losing the fight
Lead me where the light is
When the tears fill my eyes
When the hope's hard to find
Lead me where the light is

This brought me too tears...I grew up in church, loved God, and had strong faith but I got lost in the darkness and was on the edge on my life. I don't know how but He came and saved me. I'm in the light and I'm not going back to the darkness. All I can say is He lead me where the light is :).

@calebmccusker6855

God bless you man, that brought me to tears.

@benceladanyi2299

Praise God for all He does in our lives! I grew up in a catholic church and I thought that I know God but at the same time I lived a sinful life. I told to myself that it's okay because everyone else does the same things why can't I? But then God had me meet true believers, amongst whom I found out that I still need to make a choice next to Jesus. Now thanks to the limitless love and grace of God, I truly know him and keep getting to know him more and more and I feel how He leads me to where the light is! Bless the Lord!

@DogWarrior1010

Brad Ford God Bless You!!!

@kelvinsenteza

very very true i feel the same way sometimes myself....but not ANYMORE, i'm back to the light, even when the darkness tries to swallow me

@chetw3139

I hope and I pray that my friends find the light again. I've tried helping them back but I'm not my brother. (He has a gift with bringing people to Christ. I don't, instead I end up pushing them further into the dark and so over stopped trying to help them back. Choosing to instead leave it in God's wonderful hands.)

I am thankful that you came back to the light. As for my friends, there is still hope. They're young. Surrounded by family and some friends who are Christian. I pray for them everyday. Hoping and praying.

This song also brought me to tears as someone stated below,this song can break people under direct Annointing of the Holy Spirit!!!!Beautiful touching crying out to God song!!!May the Lord Jesus inspire you to make more songs like this!!!God Bless you!!!!!!

@carmenpruett5372

dan, i saw you at a concert that wasn't much of a concert at the fair in washington state and there was probably only ten people this summer. but you sang your heart out because you were singing for God and not for a crowd, and it inspired me to keep my eyes on God when i go up in church and sing too. we often get caught up in the worldd watching and forget that god is listening to our every thought. i don't want my mind to be full of anxiousness but i want to be able to sing with the boldness you do, because that pleases God. That is what i love most about this path God has called you to, that you are glorifying him just by your attitude and demeanor. Singing or no singing, you are a good example of being the light God called us to be through what he has done in us.

@TheBlaqb2st

I'm not religious but man this song is so amazing it's been stuck in my head since yesterday !

@brybee222

Trust in the Lord with all Your heart and lean not on your own understanding in all your ways acknowledge him and he shall direct your paths
