[Verse]
          C2              G/B         D/A          G/B
There's a place in the dark-ness that I use to cling to
     C2            G/B          D2no3
That presses harsh hope against time.
        C2        G/B                D/A               G/B
In the absence of martyers there's a presence of theives who only
C2           D2no3
Want to rob you blind.
             C2  G/B   D/A          G/B
They steal awa--y      any sense of peace
             C2         G/B        D2no3
Though I'm a king I'm a king on my knees.
      C2            G/B             D/A      Em
And I know they are wrong with they say I am strong
          C2    D      G
As the darkness covers me.

So turn on the light and reveal all the glory.

I am not afraid
   D                    C2          G

[Verse]
There are ghosts from my past who own more of my soul
Than I thought I had given away.
They linger in closets and under my bed and in
Pictures less proudly displayed.
 
A great fool I have been I have
Squandered 'til palid and thin.
Hung my head in shame and refused to take blame
For the darkness I know I let win.
 
[Pre-Chorus]
   D                     C2             G
So turn on the light and reveal all the glory.
D        C2     G
I am not afraid
   D                    C2          G
To bare all my weakness knowing in meekness
Em                   D
I have a kingdom to gain
 
[Chorus]
               G         D                C2

[Bridge]
G/B//////C2//////G/B   C2     G/B  C2
                 Can you hear me?
 
[Verse]
Well I've never been much for the baring of souls
In the presence of any man
Rather keep to myself all the safe and secure
in the arms of a sinner I am.
Could it be that my worth should depend on the
Crimson stained grace on a hand?
Like a lamp on a hill Lord I pray in Your will
To reveal all of you that I can.
 
[Pre-Chorus]
   D                     C2             G
So turn on the light and reveal all the glory.
D        C2     G
I am not afraid
   D                    C2          G
To bare all my weakness knowing in meekness
Em                   D
I have a kingdom to gain
 
[Chorus]

Where there is peace and love in the light
