[Verse 1]
I am not who I once was
Defined by all the things I've done
Afraid that I might be exposed
Afraid of really being known
But then you gave my heart a home

[Chorus]
So I walked out of the darkness
And into the light
From fear of shame into the hope of life (Hey)
Mercy called my name
And made a way to fly
Out of the darkness and into the light

[Verse 2]
Years of keeping secrets safe
Wondering if I could change
'Cause when you're hiding all alone
Your heart can turn into a stone
That's not the way I want to go

[Chorus]
So I walked out of the darkness
And into the light
From fear of shame into the hope of life (Hey)
Mercy called my name
And made a way to fly
Out of the darkness and into the light
[Bridge]
There's no place I'd rather be
Your light is marvelous
Your light is marvelous
You have come to set us free
You are marvelous
Your light is marvelous to me

[Chorus]
So I walked out of the darkness
And into the light
From fear of shame into the hope of life
Mercy called my name
And made a way to fly
Out of the darkness and in

[Chorus]
So I walked out of the darkness
And into the light
From fear of shame into the hope of life (Hey)
Mercy called my name
And made a way to fly
Out of the darkness and into the light (Hey)

[Ending]
To the light (Hey)
