Chains Of Darkness

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