YOU ARE THE ONE
I will cling to
When all is lost
You are still strong
In the dark You shine
Your light upon my face
You are the One I belong to
In Your shadow I will be still
Nothing in this world
Can take Your love away
God of wonders, God of power
Show Your glory in this dark hour
You shall be praised
You shall be praised
Through this earthly pain
You shall be praised
You are the One that I sing to
Lift my voice to say I trust You
In the dark You shine
And overcome my fears
Nick J Drake
