I watch you fade behind closed eyes
A candle flickers, starved of sky
Thoughts grow heavy, hope retreats
Silence drowns the words we speak
We knock on doors you've sealed inside
Our hands outstretched, but you won't let us in
When the darkness steals your breath and leaves you lost inside
There's a hand that sees your scars and never turns aside
Jesus, breaker of the night, shine Your mercy on our fears
Light beyond the dark, invade the shadows of our tears
Your heart is tangled in a web of doubt
More night descends, the little light goes out
We cry your name but hear it echo on the floor
You're drifting farther from the shore
We try to pull you close, but grief has drawn the line
So we lift our voices up and pray for Your design
When the darkness steals your breath and leaves you lost inside
There's a hand that knows your pain and never turns aside
Jesus, breaker of the night, shine Your mercy on our fears
Light beyond the dark, invade the shadows of our tears
Our prayers rise like incense to the throne on high
He who wore the thorn-crown knows each tear you've cried
In His wounds the healing flows, in His name we dare believe
Miracle-fire burning through the grief
When the darkness steals your breath and leaves you lost inside
Grace will find its way, reach inside where you've tried to hide
Jesus, breaker of the night, flood Your glory on our fears
Light beyond the dark, invade the shadows of our tears
Nothing's impossible for Him, let hope arise again
