How long will you make me sit waiting to hear Your voice?
Can You hear me calling or am I background noise?
And with all this emptiness around me I cannot feel Your joy
And I don't understand, help me understand...

That there's no light without the darkness
And without my struggle, I can't be given peace
And through all the chaos and madness, You are working for my gain
And in my darkest night is where Your mercy meets my pain

I'm looking for purpose in the life I'm living
Surely there must be more
I'm just waiting for peace
For the calm after the storm
And I run unto You, You give me rest
Sustain me in my brokenness
When I don't understand, you help me understand
When I don't understand, you help me understand...

That there's no light without the darkness
And without my struggle, I can't be given peace
Through all the chaos and madness, You are working for my gain
And in my darkest night is where Your mercy...

Meets me when I'm lost and broken
You find me on my knees
Crying out
"My God, come quickly! When will You rescue me?"
In my weakness, You remind me of shelter from the rain...

That there's no light without the darkness
And without my struggle, I can't be given peace
Through all the chaos and madness, You are working for my gain
And in my darkest night...
'Cause in my darkest night is where Your mercy meets my pain
