Lyrics

​

The earth is full of fear and dread

Confusion, chaos and despair 

You’re sovereign even in this storm

Your voice brings calm and leads me on

 

When the darkness gets darker

Your light will shine brighter

Jesus hope for every soul 

 

You hold the world

I won’t be afraid

I’m carried by your peace

I’m trusting in Your name

 

When fear and doubt is all I know

And I feel empty and alone

I run towards my only hope

Christ alone can heal this earth

​

When the darkness gets darker

Your light will shine brighter

Jesus hope for every soul 

 

When the troubles are greater

Our song will grow louder

Jesus hope for every soul
