There’s a knockin’ and it’s gettin’ dark out.
Another part of me, standing at the door.
There’s a knockin’, outside the right house.
I don’t want the things that I had before.
Can we get the lights turned on in this Church house?
Tell me there’s a way to make them work.
I am empty and I am broken.
And everything I’ve tried serves to make it worse.
When I was young, I kept Jesus on my mind;
Dimes and nickels, and saving grace.
But I got lost, in the darkest sense of selfish pride.
And started to live for Saturday.
Can we get the lights turned on in this Church house?
Tell me there’s a way to make them work.
I am empty and I am broken.
And everything I’ve tried serves to make it worse.
Stumbled lost getting caught in the sway,
The human heart, so easily fades.
What did you say about amazing grace?
Made whole in a brand new way.
