In the darkness I tried to hide
Keeping my sin pushed to the side
I had no one that I could trust
Not a soul, not even if I must
Hiding in my sin I could not sleep
My heart pounded as if it tried to leap
The transgressions that I did commit
Was ones that I wish I could omit
Your hand on me was too heavy to bare
I could not forget, not let go without a care
Day after day I struggled and tried to fight
You wouldn't let go, even deep into the night
You humbled me to the point of defeat
I could no longer hide or live in deceit
To you I confessed my sin and shame
That which before I was too afraid to name
You forgave my sin and rescued me with your hand
You took away the pain and allowed me to stand
You instructed and guided me in the path I should go
Loving me as the father that I have come to know
