Pain is power
The Light
Intro]
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
and He saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
— Psalm 34:18
I didn’t find You in the noise…
I found You in the stillness
[Verse 1]
I used to pray the pain would leave
Didn’t know it was shaping me
Every tear, every restless night
Was carving space for deeper light
I tried to stand on borrowed strength
Tried to hold it all myself
But when my walls began to fall
That’s when I heard You call
[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t waste the wounds I bear
You were with me even there
[Chorus]
In the darkness, that’s where the light shines
In the breaking, that’s where I find life
When I’m weakest, You’re the strongest part of me
Pain became power when it brought me to my knees
In the silence, You speak peace
In the shadows, You stay with me
You’re not distant, You’re not gone
You’re closest when I’m at my lowest point
[Verse 2]
I found You in the quiet place
Where faith was all I had to say
No crowd, no voice to lean upon
Just holding on till fear was gone
Your word says grace is all I need
Your strength is born in my defeat
So I won’t curse the valley floor
If it leads me closer than before
[Pre-Chorus]
Blessed are the broken ones
Where heaven’s work has just begun
[Chorus]
In the darkness, that’s where the light shines
Through the cracks, I see divine
When I’m weakest, You’re the strongest part of me
Pain became power when You carried me
In the silence, You speak peace
In the waiting, You’re shaping me
You’re not distant, You’re not gone
You’re closest when I’m at my lowest point
[Bridge]
You’re near the brokenhearted
You save the crushed in spirit
What the enemy meant for harm
You turned to holy ground
[Final Chorus]
In the darkness, that’s where the light shines
I’m not alone, You’re by my side
When I’m weakest, You’re the strongest part of me
Pain became power when You carried me
I am held, I am known
I was never walking through this alone
[Outro]
I don’t fear the dark anymore
Because I know
You’re waitin
[End - 4:00]
