Pushing Back the Dark

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

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

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 light so shine, let your light so shine)

(Let your light so shine, let your light so shine)

Oh-oh, don't underestimate the God you follow

He is the light that burns inside your soul

(Let your light so shine, let your light so shine)

So keep on shining till 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 light so shine, let your light so shine)

When you feel like you're too small to do any good at all

(Let your light so shine, let your light so shine)

Like a sunrise through the window, like a symphony crescendo

(Let your light so shine, let your light so shine)

We are waking up again, we are rising from the dead

We are shining like the stars, we are pushing back the dark

(Let your light so shine, let your light so shine)

Yeah, we are pushing back, pushing back the dark

Yeah, pushing back, pushing back, pushing back the dark

We're just pushing back, pushing back, pushing back the dark

(Let your light so shine, let your light so shine)
