Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
The brighter the light, the darker the shadow,
The fire I face leaves my back to the cold.
I draw near to You, but the darkness grows bold,
Whispers louder as my heart unfolds.

[Pre-Chorus]
But I will not turn, I will not flee—
Your grace outlasts the pull in me.

[Chorus]
The closer I come, the deeper the fight,
But You hold me firm in mercy’s light.
The tide may pull, the storm may roar,
Still Your love draws me to the shore.
You reel me in with patient hands,
You understand… You understand.

[Verse 2]
When I choose peace, I feel desire roar,
When I surrender, I crave power more.
Gentle hands shake with rage inside—
But in Your calm, my flesh must die.

[Pre-Chorus]
Still I press on, though torn within—
Your strength begins where mine grows thin.

[Chorus]
The closer I come, the deeper the fight,
But You hold me firm in mercy’s light.
The tide may pull, the storm may roar,
Still Your love draws me to the shore.
You reel me in with patient hands,
You understand… You understand.

[Bridge]
The fight is not with flesh and bone,
But thrones unseen and lies unknown.
Yet even when I swim away,
You wait… and draw me back Your way.

[Verse 3]
The more I choose truth, the louder the lie,
The more I surrender, the more I cry.
But I’m not lost—I’m being refined,
Your net of grace pulls back my mind.

[Pre-Chorus]
Not by might nor by power,
But by Your Spirit, in this hour.

[Chorus]
The closer I come, the deeper the fight,
But You hold me firm in mercy’s light.
The tide may pull, the storm may roar,
Still Your love draws me to the shore.
You reel me in with patient hands,
You understand… You understand.

[Outro]
“The pendulum swings, but Your grace makes it rise.”
“In Your patience, I am caught.”
“Still You draw… and I yield.”
