I was hiding in the corners of the room

Picking up the pieces of a life in ruin

Every heavy breath was a plea for help

I couldn't find the way to save myself

My pride was a wall that kept me small

Waiting for the moment I would finally fall

[Chorus]

Straight out of darkness

Into the light of His face

Straight out of darkness

Held by the power of grace

He reaches for the lowly and the lost

He paid it all upon that rugged cross

Straight out of darkness

Straight out of darkness

[Verse]

Now I'm standing with my hands held high

Underneath the beauty of a mercy sky

It isn't about the things that I have done

It’s about the victory that Jesus won

Keep my heart open, keep my spirit low

Letting all the bitterness and anger go

[Chorus]

Straight out of darkness

Into the light of His face

Straight out of darkness

Held by the power of grace

He reaches for the lowly and the lost

He paid it all upon that rugged cross

Straight out of darkness

Straight out of darkness

[Bridge]

There is a ministry for every wounded soul

Where the broken pieces are finally made whole

No more running, no more living in the lie

We’re climbing out to see the morning rise

[Chorus]

Straight out of darkness

Into the light of His face

Straight out of darkness

Held by the power of grace

He reaches for the lowly and the lost

He paid it all upon that rugged cross

Straight out of darkness

Straight out of darkness

[Outro]

Recovery has started today

The old things have faded away

Straight out of darkness

Straight out of darkness
