Spiritual Darkness


There's so much spiritual darkness
In this world today
Deep, deep spiritual darkness
Yet people still go on their way
They see the conditions around them
But don't really seem to care
About people who are hurting
They don't even seem aware

The devil is trying in every way
To gain our eternal soul
He will hurt us all he can
If we give him control
But we have the greater one
Within our hearts today
In His name all we do is say
Away devil, away

We find that our enemy
Is as cruel as he can be
Tries to keep our souls in bondage
He doesn't want us to be free
He knows within himself today
He was defeated long ago
When Jesus died on Calvary
To save our sinful souls

If you want to fight him
From his power to be free
Then draw closer to Jesus
As close as you can be
He will always help you
Be with you day and night
He'll help you defeat him
For on your side He'll fight
