Why be afraid if I'm not alone Though life is never easy the rest is unknown Up to now for me it's been hands against stone Spent each and every moment Searching for what to believe Coming out of the dark, I finally see the light now It's shining on me Coming out of the dark I know the love that saved me You're sharing with me Starting again is part of the plan And I'll be so much stronger holding your hand Step by step I'll make it through I know I can It may not make it easier but I have felt you Near all the way Coming out of the dark, i finally see the light now And it's shining on me ( I see the light, I see the light) See the light Coming out of the dark I know the love that saved me You're sharing with me Forever, forever I stand on the rock of your love Forever and ever I'll stand on the rock Can't nobody stop me from watching Forever, forever I stand on the rock of your love Love is all it takes, no matter what we face Coming out of the dark, (Coming out of the dark) I see the light, I feel love shinning on me (Shining, shining) Shining on me Coming out of the dark I know the love that saved me You're sharing, you're sharing with me, sharing with me, sharing with me Coming out of the dark, Making it into the light Your love shining on me, shining on me, shining on me Coming out of the dark, I see the light, I see the light Shining, shining, shining on me Shining, shining Coming out of the dark I see the light now Yes I see the light
