[Intro] G D G [Verse]
       G                 D7
I grew up reciting bible verses

   D7                       G
Committing every one to memory

         Em        C               G
But like Nicodemus when he met the teacher

        A7                           D7
I could finally see the pharaohcy in me

       G                   D7
I have always believed I believed in

    D7                        G
The right things to do and to say

         Em         C             G       C
But like Paul I was traveling and blinded

       G                  D7            G
Till I saw the light, the truth and the way
[Chorus]
       G        C          G
In the darkness God saw my need

       G          Em          D7
Saw my sorrow, my lust and my greed

         G            C          G
Just one touch of His hand I was free

      G        D7         G
In my darkness God saw my need
[Interlude] G D G [Verse]
        G                          D7
I could name you every book in the bible

           D7                              G
And I knew all the pretty words it took to pray

            Em           C                    G
But like Zacchaeus I was short on things that mattered

          A7                              D7
Still the Lord stopped in at my house one day

           G                        D7
Ah, it's a thin thin line between a good man

    D7                      G
And one who knows he's been saved

     Em          C               G     C
Like Lazarus I'm now a friend of Jesus

         G               D7            G
And this body is all I'm taking to the grave
[Chorus]
       G        C          G
In the darkness God saw my need

       G          Em          D7
Saw my sorrow, my lust and my greed

         G            C          G
Just one touch of His hand I was free

      G        D7         G
In my darkness God saw my need

       G        C          G
In the darkness God saw my need

       G          Em          D7
Saw my sorrow, my lust and my greed

         G            C          G
Just one touch of His hand I was free

      G        D7         G   C
In my darkness God saw my need
[Ending]
      G        D7         C   D7
In my darkness God saw my need

   G
My need
