Lyrics

There's a Ghost
There's a Ghost inside of me
Not like those draped in old bed sheets
Saying, "Trick or treat?"
Different
Oh, this Ghost is different
Not one that leaves me scared to death
Who puts my fears to rest
Oh, holiness keep haunting me
Oh, You are my hope, You are my peace
Ironic in a way
I'm no longer afraid
And the Ghost is to blame
There's a Ghost
There's a Ghost inside of me
Not something from some campfire story
Where I'm terrified to sleep
Opposite
This Ghost is quite the opposite
He came just like a welcomed friend
And I was comforted
Oh, holiness keep haunting me
Oh, You are my hope, You are my peace
Ironic in a way
I'm no longer afraid
And the Ghost is to blame
I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid
No longer afraid
Lead me through the darkness
Lead me through the unknown
Oh, lead me
Holy Ghost
Lead me through the darkness
Lead me through the unknown
Oh, lead me
Holy Ghost
Lead me through the darkness
Lead me through the unknown
Oh, lead me
Holy Ghost
Lead me through the darkness
Lead me through the unknown
Oh, lead me
Holy Ghost
