I don't need the sky to split tonight
I don't need a voice inside the wind
I have asked for bigger things before
Right now I just need to know You're in this room
A small light in the window
A chair that doesn't move
A quiet kind of mercy
That tells my heart the truth
Not loud
Not far
Just near enough to breathe
Leave the lamp on
If I wake up to the middle of the fear
Leave the lamp on
If I wake up in the middle of the fear
Leave the lamp on
So I remember I am not alone in here
Leave the lamp on
Till the dark inside my head gives up
Jesus, be the steady glow
That says"You're safe enough"
I have made a home of second-guessing
I have let old worries pace the floor
But peace does not always come like thunder
Sometimes it waits beside the door
And maybe faith is smaller than I thought
Maybe trust is just this much
Turning out the rest of the house
And still believing in one light left on
Not finished
Not fixed
Still held in the middle of it
Leave the lamp on
If I wake up in the middle of the fear
Leave the lamp on
So I remember I am not alone in here
Leave the lamp on
Till the dark inside my head gives up
Jesus, be the steady glow
That says"You're safe enough"
I don't need to win tonight
I don't need to solve tomorrow
I just need enough peace
To close my eyes without a fight
If You can keep the stars in place
You can keep this heart from falling through
If You can watch the sparrow sleep
You can watch me too
Leave the lamp on
If I wake up in the middle of the fear
Leave the lamp on
So I remember I am not alone in here
Leave the lamp on
Till the dark inside my head gives up
Jesus, be the steady glow
That says"You're safe enough"
You're safe enough
