I hide me far away from trouble
The world outside me
Grows darker by the day
And I promise
To stay here close beside Him
Surely God would want His children safe

Then reading how my eyes were open
I find that He is leading us
Out in to the world
Into the middle
Of fallen Saints and sinners
Where a little grace is needed most

Come take the light to darker parts
Share its truth with hardened hearts
We are not like the world
But we can love them
Come bring the Hope to hopeless men
Till the lost are found in Him
He came to save the world
So let us be
In it not of it

Wait a minute
If we say we love them
Why are we not in it
Why we run and hide
Entertain a stranger
Maybe entertain and angel
The Danger is if our worlds don’t collide

Come take the light to darker parts
Share its truth with hardened hearts
We are not like the world
But we can love them
Come bring the hope to hopeless men
Till the lost are found in him
He came to save the world
So let us be
In it not of it

We’ve cursed the darkness far too long
We need to hold the candle high
We have to go and right the wrongs
We need to touch the world with love

Wait a minute
If we say we love it why are we not it
Why are we not in it

Come take the light to darker parts
Share its truth with hardened hearts
We are not like the world
But we can love them
Come bring the Hope to hopeless men
Till the lost are found in him
He came to save the world
So let us be

Wait a minute
If we say we love it why are we not in it
