the darkness cannot stay lyrics

(Verse 1)

The darkness comes, but it won’t remain,

It doesn’t keep me silent, bound in chains.

All around, a cloud so thick and loud,

It tries to hide me, make me disappear in the crowd.

(Chorus)

But it doesn’t last, no, it cannot stay,

The Holy Spirit moves, and it’s swept away.

The darkness flees at the mighty hand of God,

Before it overtakes, it’s forced to withdraw.

(Verse 2)

The shadows rise, trying to claim my soul,

But the light of God makes the darkness fold.

I stand firm, I will not be swayed,

By the gloom that seeks to cover my face.

(Chorus)

But it doesn’t last, no, it cannot stay,

The Holy Spirit moves, and it’s swept away.

The darkness flees at the mighty hand of God,

Before it overtakes, it’s forced to withdraw.

(Bridge)

I will not perish, I will not fall,

The darkness is gone, it has no hold at all.

I send it away, to the depths, to the abyss,

With the mighty hand of God, I claim victory in this.

(Chorus)

But it doesn’t last, no, it cannot stay,

The Holy Spirit moves, and it’s swept away.

The darkness flees at the mighty hand of God,

Before it overtakes, it’s forced to withdraw.

(Outro)

The darkness comes, but it will not remain,

With God’s power, I rise, unchained.

I send it away, to the depths below,

In the light of His glory, I forever glow.
