In Your Truth

The wine has failed The vine is withered The songs of men have fallen silent And I stand among them I chased their joy I drank from their promises I walked my own roads Until I could no longer find my way home I built my life on what would fade I trusted what my eyes could see I called my wandering liberty while every road was binding me I knew Your voice and turned away I knew Your word and chose my own Now all the songs I followed die and I am standing here alone No more excuses No other name to blame The road was mine The choice was mine Lord, I have sinned I run to You, my refuge I have nowhere else to go Take this heart that wandered from You Take the roads I chose alone I bring no righteousness before You No victory of my own Only mercy Only truth Lord, lead me home Strip every falsehood from my heart Every hidden thing I still defend Let repentance be more than words Let the old road truly end I have spent enough of this life following the voice of my own will Teach these wandering feet obedience Teach this restless heart to be still There is peace for the one who walks uprightly Rest when the journey is complete No more running No more wandering Peace... before You But the darkness still speaks The lie still rises The enemy still comes Once I would have answered with anger of my own Once I would have taken judgment into my hands But I know these hands now I know this heart I am not the Judge You are Let evil return upon my enemies Not by my hand BY YOURS Not according to my anger ACCORDING TO YOUR TRUTH You see what I cannot see You know what I cannot know Every enemy Every accusation Every hidden work of darkness INTO YOUR HANDS I will not avenge myself I will not become what I condemn I will not call my hatred justice You are faithful You are righteous YOU ARE JUDGE LET EVIL RETURN UPON THEM IN YOUR TRUTH CUT IT DOWN LET EVERY LIE COME INTO THE LIGHT IN YOUR TRUTH CUT IT DOWN NOT MY REVENGE YOUR JUDGMENT NOT MY WRATH YOUR WORD NOT MY TRUTH YOUR TRUTH And if Your truth searches them let it search me first If Your light exposes darkness leave none hidden inside me For I too have wandered I too have lied to my own heart I too have needed mercy Keep me near You, Lord Keep me beneath Your hand Never let me use Your justice to hide my own sin YOU ARE MY REFUGE WHEN THE ENEMY SURROUNDS ME YOU ARE MY SHELTER WHEN THE VOICES RISE I WILL NOT ANSWER DARKNESS WITH THE DARKNESS OF MY OWN HEART I GIVE THE JUDGMENT TO YOU Let truth arise Let falsehood fall Let every hidden work stand before Your eyes What must end END IT What must fall LET IT FALL According to Your faithfulness According to Your righteousness IN YOUR TRUTH IN YOUR TRUTH NOT MINE IN YOUR JUDGMENT NOT MINE IN YOUR HANDS NOT MINE I release the enemy I release my anger I release the right I thought was mine THE JUDGMENT BELONGS TO YOU The songs of this world will fade My own roads will end The righteous will enter peace So until that day I will not be my own judge I will not be my own refuge I will walk beneath Your truth And leave the enemy in Your hands
