Just another homesick child, tired of running wild Ready to stand trial and move on Though I'm guilty in your sight, have some mercy tonight I can't make it through this fight all alone But, oh, Lord, don't make it easy Keep me working till I work it all out But please, please won't you shine enough light on me? Till I'm free from this shadow of doubt Keep me out of this shadow of doubt As I try to make some sense of this world I'm up against Well, I know my best defense is your love When the struggle gets insane and the lesson's full of pain Keep me calling out your name with love But, oh, Lord, don't make it easy Keep me working till I work it all out But please, please won't you shine enough light on me Till I'm free from this shadow of doubt Keep me out of this shadow of doubt Well, I whisper in the dark from the bottom of my heart And I'm searchin' for one star to shine I will shout from mountain high and I'll reach into the sky Till you open up my eyes so blind But, oh, Lord, don't make it easy Keep me working till I work it all out But please, please won't you shine enough light on me Till I'm free from this shadow of doubt Keep me out of this shadow of doubt
