Lyrics
Pushing Back The Dark
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
One million reasons why, you shouldn't even try
After all you're just one heart, a single candle in the dark
And there are shadows here, feeding on your fears
That you don't have what it takes - who are you to make a change?
But oh, oh, don't underestimate the God you follow
Whatever you do, just don't look back
Oh, somebody needs the light you have
Whatever you do, just don't lose heart
Keep on pushing back the dark
Keep on pushing back the dark
The city on a hill, it should be shining still
Every sinner saved by grace, has a purpose, has a place
Inside the bigger plan, we might not understand
But if we just keep walking on, we will see the kingdom come, yeah
Whatever you do, just don't look back
Oh, somebody needs the light you have
Whatever you do, just don't lose heart
Keep on pushing back the dark
Keep on pushing back the dark (let your lights all shine)
Oh, oh, don't underestimate the god you follow
He is the light that burns inside your soul
So keep on shining 'til the whole world knows
Whatever you do, just don't look back
Oh, somebody needs the light you have
Whatever you do, just don't lose heart
Keep on pushing back the dark
Just keep on pushing back the dark, dark
Whatever you do, just don't look back
Cause somebody needs the light you have
Whatever you do, just don't lose heart
Keep on pushing back the dark
Keep on pushing back the dark, yeah (let your lights all shine)
When you feel like you're too small (let your lights all shine)
To do any good at all (let your lights all shine)
Like a sunrise through the window (let your lights all shine)
Like a symphony crescendo (let your lights all shine)
We are waking up again, we are rising from the dead (let your lights all shine)
We are shining like the stars, we are pushing back the dark (let your lights all shine)
Yeah, we are pushing back, pushing back the dark (let your lights all shine)
We are pushing back, we are pushing back, pushing back the dark (let your lights all shine)
Just pushing back, we are pushing back, pushing back the dark (let your lights all shine)
