Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
First He calls out
Into your darkness
He woos you gently
And you have to choose
But the choice is easy
It's light and darkness
There's an invitation
You can not refuse
Revelation - when you see where you've been
Confirmation - you've been born again
[Chorus]
This is life as we know it
Forgiven and free
Life as we know it
More abundantly
Born of the Son, we can finally see
This is life as we know it
Undeniably
One day doubting
You're walking blindly
Through shadow's darkness
You don't feel a thing
But you keep on walking
Though you sometimes stumble
Till you find assurance
Only faith can bring
Never perfect, but perfectly forgiven
Finding courage to get up again
[Chorus]
Bent, but not broken
Tempted, not shaken
Kept in the shadow of His wing
Held by the power
Sealed with the promise
By the One who is over everything
[Chorus]
