 In this broken place where I was born
 It seems there is no peace,
 And the very soil that we walk upon
 Is filled with tears that never cease,
 And you can trace the scars of hopelessness
 Like sweat upon the backs
 Of all the outcast downtrodden,
 Water slipped through cracks
 Hold on,
 Hold tight
 And I am overwhelmed with grief,
 to see such suffering,
 For those who lack the voice to speak
 For those of us left stuttering
 Prechorus/Chorus:
May  this not prevail,
Dear  Lord, your love will never  fail
And  these frail hands,
They  tremble as they pen perhaps their last
And  these weak words,
Can  never say what cannot be surpassed
 (Play the verse/into again)
 When the concrete of the world
 Becomes too cumbersome to lift,
 And the cataracts of fear and doubt
 Cloak truth beyond what we can sift
 And darkness, darkness bleeds its way,
 When crippling anguish clouds our sight,
 The ghosts of dusk have bared their teeth,
 Set their claws to bring the night
 Hold on,
 Hold tight
 Darkness can’t perceive the light,
 though lightlessness has chilled us numb,
 And though its wings may cloud the skies,
 The dark shall never overcome
Light  of the World,
Your  love has never failed
And  these frail hands,
They  tremble as they pen perhaps their last
And  these weak words,
Can  never say what cannot be surpassed
I  need your love,
And  most of all I want to feel your peace,
I  need your love,
Let  everything that you are not decrease
 There you go! I am positive this is 100% right because it's really a pretty simple song.
 Instead of the bridge, I just let the last chord ring out, then palm mute the four
 for a build up and continue right where it normally would come in.

In this broken place where I was born
It seems there is no peace,
And the very soil that we walk upon
Is filled with tears that never cease,
And you can trace the scars of hopelessness
Like sweat upon the backs
Of all the outcast downtrodden,
Water slipped through cracks

Hold on,
Hold tight

And I am overwhelmed with grief,
to see such suffering,
For those who lack the voice to speak
For those of us left stuttering

Prechorus/Chorus:

[C]May this not pre[Am]vail,
[F]Dear Lord, your love will n[G]ever fail

[C]And these frail [Am]hands,
[F]They tremble as they pen perhaps their [G]last
[C]And these weak [Am]words,
[F]Can never say what cannot be [G]surpassed

(Play the verse/into again)
When the concrete of the world
Becomes too cumbersome to lift,
And the cataracts of fear and doubt
Cloak truth beyond what we can sift
And darkness, darkness bleeds its way,
When crippling anguish clouds our sight,
The ghosts of dusk have bared their teeth,
Set their claws to bring the night

Hold on,
Hold tight

Darkness can’t perceive the light,
though lightlessness has chilled us numb,
And though its wings may cloud the skies,
The dark shall never overcome

[C]Light of the Wor[Am]ld,
[F]Your love has never [G]failed

[C]And these frail [Am]hands,
[F]They tremble as they pen perhaps their [G]last
[C]And these weak [Am]words,
[F]Can never say what cannot be [G]surpassed

[C]I need your [Am]love,
[F]And most of all I want to feel your [G]peace,
[C]I need your [Am]love,
[F]Let everything that you are not [G]decrease

There you go! I am positive this is 100% right because it's really a pretty simple song.
