Story behind the song
I wrote this song to counter all the happy worship songs. Its a song about the bad times, but with hope too. I was feeling quite inspired at the time and the song came together more quickly than my songs usually take. I enjoyed being a little more "jazzy" and laid back than usual when recording the vocals.
Lyrics
Light within my darkness Hope within my pain Truth within confusion Let me live again Set me free Oh my Jesus, rescue me. Peace within my anger Joy within my tears Passion in my coldness Courage in my fears Set me free Oh my Jesus, rescue me.
