jennifer knapp – martyrs and thieves lyrics
there’s a place in the darkness i use to cling to
that presses harsh hope against time
in the absence of martyrs there’s a presence of thieves
who only want to rob you blind
they steal away any sense of peace
though i’m a king, i’m a king on my knees
and i know they are wrong when they say i am strong
as the darkness covers me
so i turn on the light and reveal all the glory
i am not afraid to bear all my weakness
knowing in meekness, i have a kingdom to gain
where there is peace and love in the light
in the light, i am not afraid
to let your light shine bright in my life, in my life
there are ghosts from my past who have owned more of my soul
than i thought i had given away
they linger in closets and under my bed
and in pictures less proudly displayed
a great fool in my life i have been
have squandered ’til pallid and thin
hung my head in shame and refused to take blame
from darkness i know, i’ve let win
can you hear me? can you hear me?
