Verse:
C majorC
As I was walking in the city one morning
C majorC G+G C majorC
I saw an old ragged man sitting by the street
C majorC
Well I tried not to stare as I walked straight ahead
C majorC G+G C majorC
But he stood up and grabbed my arm and said these words to me
Verse:
C majorC
Cast away those wicked chains of darkness
C majorC G+G C majorC
don’t be blinded by the night
C majorC
Let the blessed love embrace you
C majorC G+G C majorC
Give yourself unto the light
Verse:
C majorC
Well his face seemed to glow and his eyes were like fire
C majorC G+G C majorC
I saw my own reflection and my heart was filled fear
C majorC
And as I walked away there came a flash of light
C majorC G+G C majorC
I turned around to look again but He had disappeared
Chorus:
C majorC
Cast away those wicked chains of darkness
C majorC G+G C majorC
don’t be blinded by the night
C majorC
Let the blessed love embrace you
C majorC G+G C majorC
Give yourself unto the light
Verse:
C majorC
Well I’m still not certain what I saw on that morning
C majorC G+G C majorC
But I believe the Lord works in mysterious ways
C majorC
Just an old man in the city ragged gray and gritty
C majorC G+G C majorC
But when I close my eyes I can still hear him say
Chorus:
C majorC
Cast away those wicked chains of darkness
C majorC G+G C majorC
don’t be blinded by the night
C majorC
Let the blessed love embrace you
C majorC G+G C majorC
Give yourself unto the light
C majorC G+G C majorC
Give yourself unto the light
