Long ago, out of the night I was led
By a Voice, I’m still not sure what he said
but in my heart I heard the unrelenting words of love
When he said,
Follow me, out of the night I will lead you
Take my hand, live in the light you are mine.
Now this is something new
Freedom in the fences, could it be true?
I always thought I knew that freedom came without a home
‘Till he said,
Follow me, out of the night I will lead you
Take my hand, live in the light you are mine.
What is it about your grace that terrifies me?
Why can I not live in light of love?
Oh great and mighty, awesome God I know you are
But my Redeemer, Father, Friend, I’m not so sure
Still you say,
Follow me, out of the night I will lead you
Take my hand, live in the light you are mine.
