Lyrics to "the House of Your Word"

No matter how long the fight

No matter how dark the night

The darkness trembles, in the light that shines

From the house, the house of Your Word

And I come stumbling through the door

I start to remember Your grace once more

Didn't know that I was blinded and lost

But for love, You carried Your cross

You speak forgiveness in my ear

You speak the truth of Your redeeming word

(Chorus)

Take away these rags

And dress me up in righteousness

Light up the darkness, and shine through me

Oh Jesus, You can shine through me

In the house, the house of Your Word

Righteous is the Lord

Your testimonies are proven right

All Your promises are faithful and true

From the house, the house of your word.

Trouble and anguish have found me in the night

But Your commandments will be my delight

On my own I am blinded and lost

But for love, You carried Your cross

You speak forgiveness in my ear

You speak the truth of Your redeeming word

(Chorus)

Take away these rags

And dress me in your righteousness

Light up the darkness, and shine through me

Oh Jesus, You can shine through me

In the house, the house of Your Word

I see the doorway

The doorway of your light

Born into blindness

And finally given sight

Hallelujah

In the house of Your word

Freedom rings

In the house of Your word

Hallelujah

For darkness to light

Hallelujah

For the Word of life
