THE PIT Verse 1 In a deep pit I awakened Wondering how I got this low Searching every shattered memory Through the pain and through the smoke Every road I thought would save me Only led me deeper in And the weight of all my failures Felt too strong for me to lift Pre-Chorus And I cried into the darkness But only the darkness answered back Till my strength was almost gone Chorus Then You came down Into the pit Met me in the darkness Right where I was hid Put Your hand upon me Said “Child lift your eyes” You are not forgotten And you are not alone tonight Don’t be afraid Don’t lose hope I know the way out I know the way out Verse 2 In a cold pit I kept fighting Clawing at the walls alone Doors slammed shut before me Every hope I had was gone I was drowning in the silence Certain I had lost my worth And the enemy kept whispering “You’ll never rise from this earth” Pre-Chorus Then I fell down on my knees With nothing left inside of me Just one broken desperate prayer Chorus Then You came down Into the pit Met me in the darkness Right where I was hid Put Your hand upon me Said “Child lift your eyes” You are not forgotten And you are not alone tonight Don’t be afraid Don’t lose hope I know the way out I know the way out Bridge I said “Lord if You’re here beside me Why are You down here too?” And through the silence Through the darkness I heard the truth break through YOU SAID “I HAVE WALKED THROUGH DEATH AND GRIEF I HAVE STOOD WHERE HOPE GIVES OUT I ENTERED INTO YOUR BROKENNESS SO I COULD LEAD YOU OUT” “I AM THE WAY THE TRUTH THE LIFE” “I AM THE WAY OUT” Final Chorus You came down Into the pit Met me in the darkness When I was ready to quit Now the night has lost its power And the stone is rolled away Because the One who climbed down for me Is leading me today I will not be afraid I will not lose hope Jesus You’re the way out Jesus You’re the way out
