Matthew West - Into the Light Lyrics

Artist: Matthew West
Album: Into the Light
Send "Into the Light" Ringtone to your Cell
Listen while you read!
I was stranded in shadows
It was all I ever knew
I was pushed down in the darkness
Lost all hope of breaking through
There’s no life inside that prison
No windows, just these walls and chains
But love was on a mission
And I never will forget the day
You woke my heart up
You made me brave
You lifted my eyes
And called me by my name

Come on, come on out of the darkness

Come on, come on out of the night
No more, no more living in the shadows now
Step into the light

When I was shaky, You were steady

Like a lighthouse off the coast
Always willing, always ready
To lead this wandering heart back home
And now I still got bruises
And scars don’t lie
But they’re the proof that
I got a second chance at life
There’s a break in the clouds
The sun’s raining down
It’s calling me out
This is my hallelujah
Night turns to day
All my fear melts away
I lift my hands up and say
This is my hallelujah

Come on, come on no looking back now

Come on, come on run for your life
No more, no more living in the shadows now
Step into the light

        Song 02

Hello, my name is regret
I’m pretty sure we have met
Every single day of your life
I’m the whisper inside
That won’t let you forget
Hello, my name is defeat
I know you recognize me
Just when you think you can win
I’ll drag you right back down again
‘Til you’ve lost all belief
These are the voices, these are the lies
And I have believed them, for the very last time
Hello, my name is child of the one true King
I’ve been saved, I’ve been changed, and I have been set free
“Amazing Grace” is the song I sing
Hello, my name is child of the one true King
I am no longer defined
By all the wreckage behind
The one who makes all things new
Has proven it’s true
Just take a look at my life
What love the Father has lavished upon us
That we should be called His children
I am a child of the one true King



               Song 03
Matthew West - Forgiveness

It’s the opposite of how you feel
When the pain they caused is just too real
It takes everything you have just to say the word…

Forgiveness

Forgiveness

It flies in the face of all your pride

It moves away the mad inside
It’s always anger’s own worst enemy
Even when the jury and the judge
Say you gotta right to hold a grudge
It’s the whisper in your ear saying ‘Set It Free’

Forgiveness, Forgiveness

Forgiveness, Forgiveness

Show me how to love the unlovable

Show me how to reach the unreachable
Help me now to do the impossible

Forgiveness, Forgiveness


Help me now to do the impossible

Forgiveness

It’ll clear the bitterness away

It can even set a prisoner free
There is no end to what it’s power can do
So, let it go and be amazed
By what you see through eyes of grace
The prisoner that it really frees is you

Forgiveness, Forgiveness

Forgiveness, Forgiveness

Show me how to love the unlovable

Show me how to reach the unreachable
Help me now to do the impossible
Forgiveness

I want to finally set it free

So show me how to see what Your mercy sees
Help me now to give what You gave to me
Forgiveness, Forgiveness



          Song 04


I woke up this morning

Saw a world full of trouble now
Thought, how’d we ever get so far down
How’s it ever gonna turn around
So I turned my eyes to Heaven
I thought, “God, why don’t You do something?”
Well, I just couldn’t bear the thought of
People living in poverty
Children sold into slavery
The thought disgusted me
So, I shook my fist at Heaven
Said, “God, why don’t You do something?”
He said, “I did, I created you”
If not us, then who
If not me and you
Right now, it’s time for us to do something
If not now, then when
Will we see an end
To all this pain
It’s not enough to do nothing
It’s time for us to do something
I’m so tired of talking
About how we are God’s hands and feet
But it’s easier to say than to be
Live like angels of apathy who tell ourselves
It’s alright, “somebody else will do something”
Well, I don’t know about you
But I’m sick and tired of life with no desire
I don’t want a flame, I want a fire
I wanna be the one who stands up and says,
“I’m gonna do something”
We are the salt of the earth
We are a city on a hill
But we’re never gonna change the world
By standing still
No we won’t stand still
No we won’t stand still
No we won’t stand still

                Song 05

She said “I keep having the same dream
Close my eyes and I’m chasing a younger me
Try to wrap my arms around her
Shield her from the hell that found her
But I’m always just a little too late
I see the tears falling down her face
How come no one protected
The little girl that the world rejected”
Oh, where do you go when you can’t go back
Can’t save the past
And she cries in the middle of the night
“Take me far away now
From this broken place now
Somewhere they can’t hurt me
I wanna be moved by mercy
Jesus, I can’t see You
I just know I need You
Help me start a new life
Let my heart be moved by mercy”
“I used to be a future burning bright
Now I’m just another sleepless night”
All the hurt that you hide behind that door
I’m not gonna let it hurt you anymore
“For so long I thought You abandoned me
Now I’m starting to see things differently”
I’m the one who began a good work in you
And I’m the one who is gonna see it through
I’ll see you through
For so long I felt so unworthy
But in My arms all your shame is moved by mercy
So here I stand, a child undeserving
Take My hand and let your heart be moved by mercy 


                 Song 06
Most my life I’ve been doing my best to
Try and hide anything less than perfect
I covered up all my scars
I gotta make them think I’ve got it together
Make believe nobody ever has to see
What I keep in the dark
Truth is, I was wrong
That’s the part that you have wanted all along
We are, we are, we are the broken
But we are, we are, we are the chosen
So come on shine, shine, shine
Your beautiful light
Through the cracks inside our hearts tonight
‘Cause we are, we are, we are the broken
Coast is clear we got nothing to hide
All are welcome here
Step into the light
Where there’s no more fear
Can you hear the freedom song our souls are singing
Come just as you are
Take those walls around you and tear ‘em all apart
We are the weak, the wrong, the too far gone
We are the outcasts, yeah, but today we belong
We are the lost, the found, the been knocked down
But we got back up and now we are the city on a hill
Is filled with stained glass hearts, but we come as we are
We come as we are
And we shine like stars, shine like stars
We come as we are and we shine like stars


                Song 07
You wait for someone to choose you
You wait for someone to stay
But the only love that you’re used to
Is the kind that goes away
You’re thinking maybe your daddy was right when
He said you’re just a mistake
But I was holding your heart when
Those cold words made it break
My love, My love, My love
My love is unchangeable
And there’s nothing you can do to change My mind
They’ll make you feel like you’re worthless
‘Til you believe that it’s true
But I look at you and see priceless
They don’t know you like I do
I dreamed you into existence
I put the stars in your eyes
Now let the truth of this promise
Speak louder than the lies
My love, My love, My love
My love is unchangeable
And there’s nothing you can do to change My mind
My love, My love, My love
My love is unchangeable
And My love is gonna change your mind
You’re not a mistake
You’re not a mistake
I know the plans I have for you
To give you a hope and a future
My love, My love, My love
My love is unchangeable
And there’s nothing you can do to change My mind
My love, My love, My love
My love is unchangeable
And my love is gonna change your life
When the world walks away I will stay with you
You are not a mistake


Song 08
Once upon a time
Life was so innocent
Somewhere along the line
You’re smile came and went
They made you feel like
You just don’t measure up
They try to steal your light
But you are a treasure of
The maker of the stars, the stars
You don’t have to wonder
You are wonderfully made
Perfectly beautiful in every way
Wonderfully, wonderfully made
You’re anything but typical it’s true
They ain’t seen anybody quite like you
God never makes a mistake
You are wonderfully, wonderfully made
See, once upon a time
There was a secret place
Where heaven’s hand designed
Even those freckles on your face
Some things you’d rather trade
Some things you try to fix
Love has one thing to say
It’s perfect just the way it is, just the way it is
So the world could see the works of God on display
So let your doubts and your fears and your questions fade away
Let ‘em fade away
Once upon a time life was so innocent
I think it’s time that smile found its way back home again

               
            Song 09
I’m down to my last drop of faith
My last ounce of strength
My knees are worn
From waitin’ on a miracle
I’ve prayed, God, I’ve prayed
I’ve stormed the gates in Jesus’ name
Crying out night and day
Just waitin’ on a miracle
But I don’t know how much longer
I can hold out hope tonight
And I wish my will was stronger
But instead I’m just a weary heart
Waitin’ on a miracle
I’ve heard Your hand can calm a raging sea
But can You calm the storm in me
‘Cause that’s how it feels
When you’re waitin’ on a miracle
And my soul longs for the day
When I see the answer to the prayer I’ve prayed
And it’ll all be worth the wait
Waitin’ on a miracle


             Song 10

This house can’t take another fight
But once again our pride
Is the only one that’s winning
And I wish that we could just rewind
Turn the hands of time
Back to love’s beginning
There’s plenty of blame to go around
Too many tears have touched the ground
I know it looks too far beyond repair
But I believe love can be restored
If we take a little less this time
And give a little more
So hold on to me, I promise you we’ll make it through this
Stronger than we’ve ever been before
Let’s be the proof that love can be restored
Now we could choose the easy way
Like people do these days
Go and find another meant to be
But I, I don’t want somebody new
This heart belongs to you
So baby, don’t give up on me
By now we’ve learned enough to know
That we can’t fix this on our own
So take my hand and say a prayer with me
Lord, bring what’s broken back to life
Help this husband love his wife
Only You can save this family
I believe love can be restored
If we take a little less this time
And give a little more
So hold on to me, I promise you we’ll make it through this
Stronger than we’ve ever been before
They’ll say we’re proof that love can be restored


       Song 11
Dear God, it’s me
Calling out to You
Tonight I’m on my knees
Hoping You’ll come through
This one’s for my dad
Can You help him please
The world’s made him mad
At mom and me
And I’m asking you to bring his heart back home
Oh, the power of a prayer
Mom is all I have
But she’s alone again tonight
They always used to laugh
Now all they do is fight
You know she loves that man
But he’s so far from You
She’s done all she can
But she can’t break through
And she’s begging You to bring his heart back home
Oh, the power of a prayer
Just a whisper in the dark
Spoken from a broken heart
Holding on to one last strand of faith
Somewhere in the world right now
A desperate soul is crying out
Hoping Jesus really hears us when we pray
Dear God, do You
Recognize my voice
I haven’t talked to You
Since I was a little boy
But tonight I heard my son
Pray for his old man
It made me come undone
Made me understand
That only You can bring my heart back home
Oh, the power of a prayer


       Song 12
Dear God, it’s me
Calling out to You
Tonight I’m on my knees
Hoping You’ll come through
This one’s for my dad
Can You help him please
The world’s made him mad
At mom and me
And I’m asking you to bring his heart back home
Oh, the power of a prayer
Mom is all I have
But she’s alone again tonight
They always used to laugh
Now all they do is fight
You know she loves that man
But he’s so far from You
She’s done all she can
But she can’t break through
And she’s begging You to bring his heart back home
Oh, the power of a prayer
Just a whisper in the dark
Spoken from a broken heart
Holding on to one last strand of faith
Somewhere in the world right now
A desperate soul is crying out
Hoping Jesus really hears us when we pray
Dear God, do You
Recognize my voice
I haven’t talked to You
Since I was a little boy
But tonight I heard my son
Pray for his old man
It made me come undone
Made me understand
That only You can bring my heart back home
Oh, the power of a prayer


              Song 13
It’s the hardest thing to give away
And the last thing on your mind today
It always goes to those who don’t deserve

It’s the opposite of how you feel

When the pain they caused is just too real
It takes everything you have just to say the word…

Forgiveness

Forgiveness

It flies in the face of all your pride

It moves away the mad inside
It’s always anger’s own worst enemy
Even when the jury and the judge
Say you gotta right to hold a grudge
It’s the whisper in your ear saying ‘Set It Free’

Forgiveness, Forgiveness

Forgiveness, Forgiveness

Show me how to love the unlovable

Show me how to reach the unreachable
Help me now to do the impossible

Forgiveness, Forgiveness


Help me now to do the impossible

Forgiveness

It’ll clear the bitterness away

It can even set a prisoner free
There is no end to what it’s power can do
So, let it go and be amazed
By what you see through eyes of grace
The prisoner that it really frees is you

Forgiveness, Forgiveness

Forgiveness, Forgiveness

Show me how to love the unlovable

Show me how to reach the unreachable
Help me now to do the impossible
Forgiveness

I want to finally set it free

So show me how to see what Your mercy sees
Help me now to give what You gave to me
Forgiveness, Forgiveness
