This Light from Vae Terram by Heed The Prophet

In shadows I was born, a soul in chains
A prisoner to the darkness and the pouring rains
My heart, a frozen wasteland, filled with fear and doubt
A silent scream for something more, a way to get out
The world, a crushing weight upon my chest
I carried burdens deep, with no chance for rest

Then a light broke through the black, a fire in the night
The Son of God, with glory, a blinding, holy light
He came to break the chains and make the darkness flee
He reached His hand to save a wretch like me
This Light of Jesus, searing through my soul
He came to make me whole, to take control

The whispers of the fallen, they promised empty things
A hollow crown, a broken throne, on tattered, leather wings
They fed the anger, stoked the flames of my own pride
A fortress built of sorrow, with nothing left inside
I walked the path of ruin, a willing, blinded fool
Enslaved by my own passions, a self-destructive tool

Then a light broke through the black, a fire in the night
The Son of God, with glory, a blinding, holy light
He came to break the chains and make the darkness flee
He reached His hand to save a wretch like me
This Light of Jesus, searing through my soul
He came to make me whole, to take control

Reach out your hand to Him, cast away your pride
There's no more need to run, no reason left to hide
He's standing right beside you, His arms are open wide
Let His holy fire cleanse the darkness deep inside
Surrender your will to the one who paid the price
He offers you salvation, a new and glorious life

Then a light broke through the black, a fire in the night
The Son of God, with glory, a blinding, holy light
He came to break the chains and make the darkness flee
He reached His hand to save a wretch like me
This Light of Jesus, searing through my soul
He came to make me whole, to take control

Saved! By the blood of the Lamb that was slain
Saved! He has washed away all of my sin and my pain
Saved! I will scream out His name to the heavens above
Saved! By the power of His unending love
He is my Savior, the Holy One, Jesus Christ
Surrender! And He will be right there to save you
