Lyrics
Verse 1
I sat beside the dusty road
I bore the weight of heavy load
The cloak of darkness was my skin
I drowned in noise and city sin
Verse 2
The copper coins were all I knew
Until the moment I found you
I heard a crowd go passing by
And dared to lift my voice and cry
Chorus
The voices told me, "Hush your tone"
But I would not be left alone
Is your spirit calling
For a sinner falling
I am finally crawling
To the morning
I hear your footsteps stopping near
Above the doubt, above the fear
If you can heal a wretch like me
Then touch my eyes and set me free
Verse 3
They told me I was cursed by birth
A useless shadow on the earth
But you stood still amidst the noise
And listened to my broken voice
Verse 4
You didn't ask for gold or pay
You washed the dark of night away
You turned your holy face to mine
And gave a vision divine
Chorus
Is your spirit calling
For a sinner falling
I am finally crawling
To the morning
I hear your footsteps stopping near
Above the doubt, above the fear
If you can heal a wretch like me
Then touch my eyes and set me free
Bridge
Cast the shadows from my sight
Fill my spirit with your light
I was lost in blackest deep
Now I wake from endless sleep
Chorus
Is your spirit calling
For a sinner falling
I am finally crawling
I can see you, Lord
I hear your footsteps stopping near
Outro
The dark is gone
I can see
