In spite of the dark, You see to my heart
In spite of the sin within, which pulls me apart
In spite of myself, in spite of my wealth
In spite of the comfort and the vain
You come and You reach to me again
And let me restart

So never again will I stay far
cause I'm here in Your arms
And never again will I stay down
because You are around
You give me the strength to fight the dark
I feel the light in Your heart
And never again need I to fear
because You are here

In spite of the world, of temptations unfurled
In spite of the children's cries
Your bring salvation to dry their eyes
In spite of my shame, of not speaking Your name
In spite of my will to be withdrawn
You'll use me to serve the Son
The risen one

So never again will I stay far
cause I'm here in Your arms
And never again will I stay down
because You are around
You give me the strength to fight the dark
I feel the light in Your heart
And never again need I to fear
because You are here
