Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I found a freedom worth fighting for (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
I have a reason to sing a song (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Yeah, I got a freedom worth dying for (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
And that's Jesus (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
I found a freedom worth fighting for (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
I have a reason to sing a song (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Ooh yeah, I got a freedom worth dying for (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
And that's Jesus (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
I'm not afraid of the dark, 'fraid of the darkness (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
I'm not afraid of the dark, 'fraid of the darkness (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Everywhere that I walk, I pray to God, yes (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh) And that's Jesus
Who would've known? (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Who would've known He would talk to me? (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Took the time to walk with me (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Opened my eyes, now I can see (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
That's Jesus, so-oh
I'm not afraid of the dark, 'fraid of the darkness (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
I'm not afraid of the dark, 'fraid of the darkness (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Now everywhere that I walk, I pray to God, yes, yes (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh) And that's Jesus
Woah, I'm not afraid of the dark, 'fraid of the darkness (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
I'm not afraid of the dark, 'fraid of the darkness (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Everywhere that I walk, I pray to God, yes (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh) And that's Jesus
Everything's gon' be alright
Joy is coming in the morning light
Oh, weeping may endure for a night
It's gon' be alright, everything's gon' be alright
Everything's gon' be alright
Joy is coming in the morning light
Oh, weeping may endure for a night
It's gon' be alright, everything's gon' be alright
I'm not afraid of the dark, 'fraid of the darkness (Oh, everything's gonna be alright)
I'm not afraid of the dark, 'fraid of the darkness (Joy's coming in the morning light)
Everywhere that I walk, I pray to God, yes (Oh, weeping may endure for the night)
It's gon' be alright, everything's gon' be alright
I'm not afraid of the dark, 'fraid of the darkness
I'm not afraid of the dark, 'fraid of the darkness
Now everywhere that I walk, I pray to God, yes
And that's Jesus
