Lyrics
(Sung slowly)
He brought me out alright
He brought me out alright
He brought me out of darkness, brought me out of darkness
Into His marvelous light
He brought me out alright.
(Song at a moderate tempo)
He brought me out alright
He brought me out alright
He brought me out of darkness into His marvelous light
He brought me out alright
He brought me out alright
He brought me out alright
He brought me out of darkness into His marvelous light
He brought me out alright
He brought me out alright
He brought me out alright
He brought me out of darkness, into His marvelous light
He brought me out alright
He made a way for me
He made a way for me
He opened up the door, that I could not see
He made a way for me
He made a way for me
He made a way for me
He opened up the door, that I could not see
He made a way for me
Vamp:
He brought me out
(Repeat as many times as necessary and end with
Lord you brought me out)
Vamp 2:
You brought me
(Repeat as many times as necessary and end with
Lord you brought me out

Meaning & Inspiration
“He Brought Me Out” gives a compact testimony of deliverance. Its central contrast is between darkness and marvelous light, with each repetition reinforcing God as the one who rescues and leads. The later lines add another image of divine provision: a door opens where no visible way existed. Both ideas turn personal experience into praise without shifting attention away from the Lord’s action.
The darkness-and-light refrain directly echoes 1 Peter 2:9, which describes God calling His people out of darkness into His marvelous light. Psalm 40:2 offers a related picture of being lifted from a pit and set on firm ground. The song’s slow opening, moderate section, and repeated vamps allow the declaration to gather force through performance. Rather than supplying a detailed narrative, the lyric stays with one claim: God brought the singer out and made a way. That simplicity makes the song a testimony of rescue, guidance, and grateful praise.
