He has walked these halls before, He knows the places no one sees. He pulls a chair up to my table, An unwelcome guest again. And he fills the room with whispers, Of the things that might have been. He tells me stories of tomorrow, Paints them all in shades of gray. Takes the colors from my memories, Leaves the sorrow in their place. And I know that he is lying, But his words have settled deep. And though I try to shut him out, His whispers follow me to sleep. Oh, Darkness has a language, And I've learned to speak it well. There's a thousand quiet sorrows That I never learned to tell. And the walls are growing taller, And the windows growing small. Till I wonder if the sunlight Ever knew this room at all. There's a candle on the table, Burned so low it barely glows. And Darkness leans in closer, Says it's time to let it go. But a hand comes through the stillness, And it shelters that small flame. And Darkness falls to silence When Jesus calls my name. Oh, Darkness has a language, But there's something he can't say. He can tell me I am broken, But he cannot take grace away. And the walls are still around me, But a window opens wide. And the light comes pouring softly To the places where I hide. He did not come with thunder, He did not shake the ground. Jesus simply sat beside me Where no one else was found. And every lie I'd listened to, Every word I'd held as true, Grew quiet in His presence, The One who makes things new. There's darkness at my window, And perhaps he'll come again. But he no longer has a place Beside me as a friend. For a candle's still upon my table, And its flame is burning bright. And the One who keeps it burning Will be with me through the night.
