"LABYRINTH"

Verse 1
What's gone tomorrow is what's here today.
I finally got something that's here to stay.
It's the name I use every time I pray.
Light of the world, come shine on my pathway.

You know Your Words give me my one true high,
Like wine from Heaven never runnin' dry.
I've got to get my daily fresh supply,
Or my poor soul would just grow old & die.

And when all around me's falling, You're gonna hear me calling:

Chorus 1
Let there be peace between the mixed emotions running 'round my mind.
Then & only then is when I begin to unwind,
'Cause faith in You is the only place that I could ever find
My way through the labyrinth of this day.

Interlude:

Verse 2
Sometimes I'm like a blind man in a maze
'Til You touch my eyes & then Your Name I praise.
I know it's You Who guides my nights, my days,
By my side each turn & every phase.

You help me fill these shoes & play my role.
You say that I can score; now I can see the goal,
And I won't end up another lonely soul,
Sinking deeper in an empty hole.

And when I just can't find the angle, a way out of the tangle,

Chorus 2
Let there be peace between the mixed emotions running 'round my mind.
Then & only then is when I can leave 'em all behind,
'Cause faith in You is the only place that I could ever find
An end to fear, through the labyrinth of this year.

Interlude:

And even through the pain, keep me singing in the rain.
You say my labor's not in vain,
And Your loving still remains; it's all that keeps me sane.

Chorus 3
Let there be peace between the mixed emotions running 'round my mind.
The answer's just the same: Your Love for me & all mankind,
'Cause faith in You is the only place that we could ever find
A life that's free in the labyrinth of eternity,
A life that's free in the labyrinth of eternity.
