V1: There was a time I thought that I could conquer anything.
I knew it all, had nothing left to try.
And, blinded to disaster,
My world kept spinnin' faster.
And, I felt the very soul of me would die.
CHORUS: But, despiration brought me back to the old rugged cross.
When my world had turned so black I couldn't see.
And, like a frightened child lost in the night,
I searched for Light.
In my despiration, Jesus, shine on me.
V2: I'm a man who can walk again, and be proud of who I am.
The sin I once held tight, I now let go.
All my days are filled with sunshine,
Not a cloud to darken my mind.
But, let me say that it wasn't always so.
(Repeat Chorus)
TAG: Yeah, in my despiration, Jesus, shine on me.
