It has been awhile since I've seen another light besides the one I hold,
Am I all on my own? All alone down here where it's becoming dark and cold?
So I ask, 'Are You here with me'?
And gently You responded with a love that draws me near and You said,
'When you feel betrayed you know they hated Me before
And when they leave you out, I will be the open door
And when you die inside, I will cause your heart to sing forevermore.
I am the Risen Lord, and I will go before.'
I'm in need of your touch, and a love that knows me better than I know myself
'Cause the world is not enough to fill the empty space that only You can know so well
So I wait to hear You once again
And boldly You declare to me that I am still Your own and You said,
I will go before the darkness with a light that leads you home
And I'll raise up every valley that had once laid so low
And I'll make the path that lies ahead as straight as any path you've ever known
I am the risen Lord, and I will go before.
'Cause I am the Risen Lord, and I will go,' I will go before
And when you die inside, I will cause your heart to sing forevermore.
'Cause I am the Risen Lord, and I will go' before.
I will go before.
