Let nothing you dismay

And with fear and trembling stand
Ponder nothing earthly minded

Darkness Won't Prevail
05:03

There was a light that shone in darkness
Burned so bright for wise to see
Those who followed found a baby
The long awaited Savior-King
But earthly powers tried to slay Him
Filled with arrogance and greed
Yet there had always been a purpose
To rise again and set us free
And so we hope through tears of suffering
For the day when all will be made right
Because the Light of Love became Emmanuel
No the darkness won't prevail,
No the darkness won't prevail...
The Light of Life shines in darkness
Breaks the shadows of our shame
His Spirit comforts in our sorrows
Shows us purpose in our pain
And so we hope through tears of suffering
For the day when all will be made right
Because the Light of Love became Emmanuel
No the darkness won't prevail,
No the darkness won't prevail...
Oh praise the One who breaks the darkness
Frees us from the grave
Oh praise the One sweet hope of all
Will wipe our tears away
Because the Light of Love became Emmanuel
No the darkness won't prevail,
No the darkness won't prevail...
