Chains of Darkness

Song by Front Range

1. As I was walking
in the city one morning
I saw an old ragged man
sitting by the street
Well I tried not to stare
as I walked straight ahead
But he stood up and grabbed my arm
and said these words to me

Cast away those wicked chains of darkness
don’t be blinded by the night
Let the blessed love embrace you
Give yourself unto the light

2. Well his face seemed to glow
and his eyes were like fire
I saw my own reflection
and my heart was filled fear
And as I walked away
there came a flash of light
I turned around to look again
but He had disappeared

Cast away those wicked chains of darkness
don’t be blinded by the night
Let the blessed love embrace you
Give yourself unto the light

3. Well I’m still not certain
what I saw on that morning
But I believe the Lord works
in mysterious ways
Just an old man in the city
ragged gray and gritty
But when I close my eyes
I can still hear him say

Cast away those wicked chains of darkness
don’t be blinded by the night
Let the blessed love embrace you
Give yourself unto the light
Give yourself unto the light
