Based on the poem The Pit
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
