The Light Meets The Dark

Tenth Avenue North The Light Meets The Dark Lyrics
1.Healing Begins

So you thought you had to keep this up
All the work that you do
So we think that you're good
And you can't believe it's not enough
All the walls you built up
Are just glass on the outside

So let 'em fall down
There's freedom waiting in the sound
When you let your walls fall to the ground
We're here now

This is where the healing begins, oh
This is where the healing starts
When you come to where you're broken within
The light meets the dark
The light meets the dark

Afraid to let your secrets out
Everything that you hide
Can come crashing through the door now
But too scared to face all your fear
So you hide but you find
That the shame won't disappear

So let it fall down
There's freedom waiting in the sound
When you let your walls fall to the ground
We're here now
We're here now, oh

This is where the healing begins, oh
This is where the healing starts
When you come to where you're broken within
The light meets the dark
The light meets the dark

Sparks will fly as grace collides
With the dark inside of us
So please don't fight
This coming light
Let this blood come cover us
His blood can cover us

This is where the healing begins, oh
This is where the healing starts
When you come to where you're broken within
The light meets the dark
The light meets the dark


2.Strong Enough To Save

You fought, but you were just too weak
So you lost, all the things you tried to keep
Now you're on your knees
(Now you're on your knees)
You're on your knees
(You're on your knees)

But wait
Yeah everything can change
In a moment's time
You don't have to be afraid
Cause fear is just a lie
Open up your eyes

And He'll break open the skies
To save, those who cry out His name
The One the wind and waves obey
It's strong enough to save you

Look, now is not too late
Lift up your head
Let the rain fall on your face
You're not far from grace

And He'll break open the skies
To save, those who cry out His name
The One the wind and waves obey
It's strong enough to save you
Break open the skies
To save, those who cry out his name
The One the wind and waves obey
It's strong enough to save you

I know the weight of this world
Can take you down like gravity
Yeah I know the current of yourself
Can take you out
Out to sea
But hold on, hold on

And He'll break open the skies
To save, those who cry out His name
The One the wind and waves obey
It's strong enough to save you
Break open the skies
To save, those who cry out his name
The One the wind and waves obey
It's strong enough to save you


3.You Are More

There's a girl in the corner
With tear stains on her eyes
From the places she's wandered
And the shame she can't hide
She says how did I get here
I'm not who I once was
And I'm crippled by the fear
That I've fallen too far to love

But don't you know who you are
What has been done for you
Yeah don't you know who you are
You are more than the choices that you've made
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes
You are more than the problems you create
You've been remade

Well she tries to believe it
That she's been given new life
But she can't shake the feeling
That it's not true tonight
She knows all the answers
And she's rehersed all the lines
And so she'll try to do better
But then she's to weak to try

But don't you know who you are
You are more than the choices that you've made
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes
You are more than the problems you create
You've been remade
You are more than the choices that you've made
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes
You are more than the problems you create
You've been remade

Cause this is not about what you've done
But whats been done for you
This is not about where you've been
But where your brokeness brings you too
This is not about what you build
But what He built to forgive you
And what He built to make you know

You are more than the choices that you've made
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes
You are more than the problems you create
You've been remade
You are more than the choices that you've made
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes
You are more than the problems you create
You've been remade


4.The Truth Is Who You Are

It would be easier
If You were just a thought in my head
Simply something that I once read
Believe me, it'd be my defense

And it would be easier
If You were something I once knew
A hope just to hold onto
But You are holding out your hands

Cuz You came to take us back to the start
You came to touch the hardness of our hearts
You gave us truth
The truth is who You are
Its who You are

And its not enough to just say 'I believe'
Cuz the truth is talk is cheap
So grace give me eyes to see

That You came to take us back to the start
You came to touch the hardness of our hearts
You gave us truth
The truth is who You are
Its who You are
Its who You are

Flesh and blood, You offer us
Oh to eat the bread and drink the cup
Oh to taste, to see, to feel, to touch
Emmanuel
God with us
Emmanuel
God with us

Cuz You came to bring the chains apart
You wake the dead and sleeping of our hearts
You gave us truth
The truth is who You are
Its who You are
Its who You are
Its who You are


5.All The Pretty Things

We are, we are, we're caught in the in-between
Of who we already are and who we're yet to be
We're looking for love but finding we're still in need
It's only what we have lost will we be allowed to keep
And we're waiting but our eyes are wandering to
All this earth holds dear

Look at all the pretty things
That steal my heart away
I can feel I'm fading
Cause Lord I love so many things
That keep me from your face
Come and save me

And we run, we run, to finally be set free
But we're fighting for what we already have received
So we're waiting , but our eyes are wandering to
All this earth holds dear

Look at all the pretty things
That steal my heart away
I can feel I'm fading
Cause Lord I love so many things
That keep me from your face
Come and save me

We are, we are, we're caught in the in-between
But we're fighting for what we already have received
We are, we are, we're caught in the in-between
But we're fighting for what we already have received

Look at all the pretty things
That steal my heart away
I can feel I'm fading
Cause Lord I love so many things
That keep me from your face
Come and save me


6.Any Other Way

Well don't say goodbye, don't say hello
We're just standing on the surface
Don't say alright, don't say I know
Well I promise it's not worth it
Well I wanna know who you are
Even if you're falling apart
I reach in and touch your scars
And all the shame you've kept in your heart

Cause it's not enough, it's not enough
Just to say that we're okay
I need your hurt and I need your pain
It's not love any other way

So let's not pretend, stop your parade
Trying to convince me
That you're alright and everything's okay
Yeah, do you even know me?
Cause I already know who you are
And all the things that kept us apart
So reach in and touch my scars
And know the price I paid for your heart

That it's not enough, it's not enough
Just to say that you're okay
I need your hurt and I need your pain
It's not love any other way

A broken and contrite heart
I will not despise, come as you are
And I won't close my eyes
I won't close my eyes
I won't close my eyes
I won't close my eyes

Cause it's not enough, it's not enough
Just to say that we're okay
I need your hurt and I need your pain
It's not love any other way

Cause it's not enough, it's not enough
Just to say that we're okay
Well you need my hurt
You needed my pain
It's not love any other way
It's not love any other way
Yeah, it's not love any other way


7.On And On

Love, I have waited for you
And love, I was wounded for you
Won't you look into my eyes?
Through the pain and through your pride
And find I am true?
You're the one I can't deny
And I'll never leave your side
I gave my life for you
So what are you waiting for?

Well on and on we go
Come love, take my hand
And on and on we go
Time and time again
On and on we go
Back to where this all began
Come love, take my hand

Well life, is waiting for you
And life, I have given to you
Well tell me, what else can I do?
What more have I left to prove
That I am what you need?
Still I will hold onto your heart
Through the chaos and the dark
When your eyes fail to see
So what are you waiting for?

Well on and on we go
Come love, take my hand
And on and on we go
Time and time again
On and on we go
Back to where this all began

Well broken I was for you
Broken I'm still for you
My broken heart, breaks for you
Broken I'm over you

On and on we go
On and on we go
On and on we go
Well come love, take my hand
And on and on we go
Time and time again
On and on we go
Back to where this all began
Well come love, take my hand
Come love take my hand
Come away my love


8.Heart's Safe (A Better Way)

I feel it in your eyes
There's pain that covers up these lies
Now you may look like me
but it seems you're really different on the inside
We use to keep our hearts safe
We kept them safe and locked away
But then we grew up
Learning that life could service in a better way

Any why?
I'm asking you why?

So what happened to your eyes?
Well I saw them wander just like mine
So how did we come to see so differently after all this time?

Any why?
I'm asking why?
And why?
I'm asking you why?

Well if the sheep know His voice
Now tell me what is the choice for the ones who haven't heard
And have no need to rejoice?
Father, well help me understand
Cause I am just like him and Lord he's just like me
We came from the same town and the same families
But now he, he just won't understand
Please Lord, open up his eyes
Can you open these eyes?

Any why? I'm asking you why?


9.House Of Mirrors

You can't seem to see past your own reflection
Caught up in the halls of your introspection
And you're staring at your mirror on the wall
Asking who is the fairest of them all?
Cause Lord I know, it's not me
If only you could see
That you've already been set free

Well come on, come on
Let's throw our mirrors down
Yeah come on, come on
Let's shatter the glass on the ground

Well you say hold on, if I could just try this one thing.
Well I know I can change and that would change everything
But a house made of mirrors never helped you see any clearer
It's yourself you can't see past
And Lord, isn't that just like me?
If only we could see, that He's already set us free

Well come on, come on
Let's throw our mirrors down
Yeah come on, come on
Let's shatter the glass on the ground

Oh, oh
Freedom's waiting for you now
So come on, come on
And throw your mirrors down

Come on, if you're tired take a step outside
You might find that you can forget about yourself tonight
Oh, come on if you're tired of failed attempts to try
Freedom's waiting when you look outside
Come on, if you're tired take a step outside
You might find you can forget about yourself tonight
Yeah, come if you're tired of your failed attempts to try
Freedom is waiting when you look outside

Well come on, come on
Let's throw our mirrors down
Yeah come on, come on
Let's shatter the glass on the ground
Oh, oh
Freedom's waiting for you now
So come on, come on and throw your mirrors down


10.Empty My Hands

I've got voices in my head
And they are so strong
And I'm getting sick of this
Oh Lord, how long will I be haunted by the fear that I believe?
My hands like locks on cages of these dreams I can't set free
But if I let these dreams die
If I lay down all my wounded pride
If I let these dreams die
Will I find, that letting go lets me come alive?

So empty my hands
Fill up my heart
Capture my mind with You
Oh, empty my hands
Fill up my heart
Capture my mind with You
With You
With You, Lord

Cause these voices speak instead
What's right is wrong
And I'm giving into them
Oh please Lord, how long
will I be held captive by the lies that I believe?
My heart's in constant chaos
And it keeps me so deceived
But if I let these dreams die
If I could lay down my dark desire
Cause if I let these dreams die
Will I find, You brought me back to life?

So empty my hands
Fill up my heart
Capture my mind with You
Oh Lord, empty my hands
Fill up my heart
Capture my mind with You

Cause my mind is like a building burning down
I need Your grace to keep me
Well keep me from the ground
My heart is just a prisoner of war
A slave to what it wants and to what I'm fighting for
So won't You

So empty my hands
Fill up my heart
Capture my mind with You
Oh, empty my hands
Fill up my heart
Capture my mind with You
With You

With You
I need You now
I need You now Lord
With You
With You
I need You now Lord


11.Oh My Dear

I called you up, you were in bed
Could barely make out the words that you said
But you wanted to see me instead
So I got dressed
And I stepped out into the snow
And walked for a mile or so
Felt the rush of blood come from the cold,
in my chest

Well you finally came to the door
And we talked for an hour or more
Until I asked if you would stay up till four
You said that's fine
But you said there's something I have to say
And I can't because I'm just so afraid
And so I held you as you started to shake, that night

Oh my dear
I will wait for you
Grace tonight, will pull us through
Until the tears have left your eyes
Until the fear can sleep at night
Until the demons that you're scared of, disappear inside
Until this guilt begins to crack
And the weight falls from your back
Oh my dear
I'll keep you in my arms tonight

You slowly lifted your head from your hands
You said I just don't think that you'll understand
You'll never look at me that way again, if you knew what I did
And so your tears fell and melted the snow
You told me secrets nobody had known
Oh, but I never loved you more even though now I knew what you
did

Oh my dear
I will wait for you
And grace tonight, will pull us through
Yeah, oh my dear, I will wait for you
And grace tonight will pull us through
Until the tears have left your eyes
Until the fears can sleep at night
Until the demons that you're scared of, disappear inside
Until this guilt begins to crack
And the weight falls from your back
Oh my dear
I'll keep you in my arms...

Till the tears have left your eyes
Until the fears can sleep at night
Until the demons that you're scared of, have disappeared inside
Until this guilt begins to crack
And the weight falls from your back
Well, oh my dear
I'll keep you in my arms tonight
I'll keep you in my arms tonight
