+Darkness+

A Christian version of "Heartless" by Kanye West.

Chorus:
In the Church
I hear 'em talk,
the Oldest Story Ever Told.
Somewhere far along that road
He won your soul
and defeated the Darkness.

He defeated the Darkness.
Oh.
He defeated the Darkness.

Verse One:
How could He be so
brave up against His enemies? Oh!
And, you know, He did it all for you, though.
Went through all of that pain just for you, you know.
I mean after all the things He had been through,
I mean after all the hearts He got into,
And He knew of the sins they hadn't told Him
but even through all that He still loved them.
And He wants all of us to come to Him.
But we walk around like we don't know Him.
He wants to be your friend, be your homie.
He doesn't want you to be so lonely.

Chorus:
In the Church
I hear 'em talk,
the Oldest Story Ever Told.
Somewhere far along that road
He won your soul
and defeated the Darkness.

He defeated the Darkness.
Oh.
He defeated the Darkness.

Verse Two:
He gave His life to defeat the Evil.
Died on the cross to win back your soul.
Came down to Earth from way above so
He could save you from the Devil You Know.
He wants you to have eternal life so
You can be with Him forever mo'.
He won't stop, won't give up on You,
Cuz He loves you more than you could know.
Go run and tell your friends you believe in Him.
Say He wants to become a part of them.
You preach the Word and plant the Seed,
and let God do the growing of that little tree.

Chorus:
In the Church
I hear 'em talk,
the Oldest Story Ever Told.
Somewhere far along that road
He won your soul
and defeated the Darkness.

He defeated the Darkness.
Oh.
He defeated the Darkness.

Verse Three/Bridge:
Talkin, talkin about God,
Lookin' toward the Humble Cross,
Thinkin 'bout what He went through,
all to save both me and you.
Darkness shrouded all the Earth
'Til Jesus came through Virgin Birth
And did defeat the Enemy (Enemy)

I know that I believe
in Jesus Christ, the Son.
He made the Darkness Light
because He gave His life!
Yes, He gave His life...

Chorus:
In the Church
I hear 'em talk,
the Oldest Story Ever Told.
Somewhere far along that road
He won your soul
and defeated the Darkness.

He defeated the Darkness.
Oh.
He defeated the Darkness.
