Oh why, oh why
Does it feel just like a war zone in my mind?
As I fight the fight
Try to hear Your voice through all the lies
He heard my heart and heard my cry
Even heard my whisper in the night
And as I prayed
I heard my Father say
Tell those demons run and hide
They tremble at the name of Jesus every time
Fear ain't got a home here up inside by mind
Darkness has to leave up in this light, whoa
You're always near
Just a mention of Your name and You're right here
You wipe my tears
You're delivering me out from all my fears
He heard my heart, and heard my cry
Even heard the whisper in the night
And as I prayed
I heard my Father say
Tell those demons run and hide
They tremble at the name of Jesus every time
Fear ain't gotta home here up inside my mind
Darkness has to leave up in this light, oh
And I won't buy those lies
They can't take control over this life of mine
I've been fully ransomed by the blood of Christ
Darkness has to leave up in this light, oh
And as I prayed
I heard my Father say
Tell those demons run and hide
They tremble at the name of Jesus every time
Fear ain't gotta home here up inside my mind
Darkness has to leave up in this light, oh
And I won't buy those lies
They can't take control over this life of mine
I've been fully ransomed by the blood of Christ
Darkness has to leave up in this light, oh
