This city lies in darkness and its people cannot see And in our chosen blindness we pretend the same to be A lost and wandering crowd of witness to the brightest light Content to sit in clouds of fog and hold to our own might This city needs a lightening of the burdens that it’s held For years of only fighting that the fear and pain be quelled Confess the seeking after self and only what can bring A temporary salve for all the weight and suffering We citizens of heaven and your kingdom here on earth We offer our confession that we seek our love and worth Apart from you we cling to the illusion of control So cleanse the voice that sings to you, in praise you make us whole We citizens will trace the streets and houses where we go With heaven’s light the grace of Christ will shine out here below And so this city won’t remain in darkness and despair But know the hope he wrote here on our hearts for us to share
