The world's a dark and dreary place
It's full of those who need God's grace
Full of those who have no hope
Full of those who cannot cope
Of those who live their life at nightÂ
In furtive shadow hid from light
And those who fail, who make mistakes
Whose backs are bent, about to break
But it's also full of God's great love
There's hope and joy and peace enough
For all who let the savior in
Those rescued from where're they've been
Who live their life devoted to
The one who waits to rescue you
