Two Voices

Verse 1:

Wandering through the darkness

My eyes are still used to the light

Disoriented and discontent

I wish I had an escape somewhere in sight

 

I hear two voices, they’re ringing out

They’re saying two different things

One says I’m dead, one I’m justified

But both still say “follow me”

 

Chorus:

They’re ringing

Through the night, through the sky

O they’re ringing

And it’s all I hear

 

I need a transformation

A renewing of my mind

So I can know

which voice is Yours

 

Verse 2:

One says I should have known otherwise

There’s no escape from darkness or pain

So come and live for the short release

It carries you till you hurt again

 

The other tells me there’s something more

And speaks of a light that I cannot see

But even if a brighter place could be found

What would I do with all the darkness in me?

 

Chorus:

They’re ringing

Through the night, through the sky

O they’re ringing

And it’s all I hear

 

I need a transformation

A renewing of my mind

So I can know

which voice is Yours

 

Bridge:

My heart it aches to believe the light

And leave this heavy darkness behind

With a love louder than my enemies

And a grace that I’ve been longing to find

 

Ending Chorus:

I need a transformation

A renewing of my mind

So I can follow

Your sweet voice
