Darkness was a demon that I came to know
Locked up in a world without a key
Taking me to places that I never meant to go
I'm afraid that it's been makin' me
A little bit crazy
Now I'm the first to tell you that I need to change
I can see it clearly in my mind
Cleaning out the dusty rooms that remain
I can leave those burdens far behind
A different man, yeah
Openin' up my heart
Knowin' that You'll be there
Take yesterday from me, and all of my memories
Never again to bear
Take this sinner's prayer, take this sinner's prayer
Where I've been, I tell you, you don't want to be
Images I've fought to leave behind
Through it all if there is one thing I can see
A stronger hand has lifted me on high
Take me, Father
Openin' up my heart
Knowin' that You'll be there
Take yesterday from me, and all of my memories
Never again to bear
Take this sinner's prayer
Take me now
Hear my cry
Come and do what you do
Makin' me new to start again, oh
Openin' up my heart
Knowin' that You'll be there
Take yesterday from me, and all of my memories
Never again to bear
Take this sinner's prayer
Openin' up my heart
Knowin' that You'll be there
Take yesterday from me, and all of my memories
Never again to bear
Take this sinner's prayer
