The Devil Has to Run

Verse 1

When darkness fills my thoughts,

And I don't know what to do,

I close my eyes and pray,

Because I know I can trust You.

The Devil tells me false lies,

He says I'm all alone.

But I know that You are with me,

And Your love is strong.

Chorus

I can trust You, God,

You will never let me go.

Even when I'm sad and afraid,

You are with me, this I know.

When I speak the truth about You,

The Devil runs away.

He can't stay around Your light,

He has to leave today.

(He can't stay)

Verse 2

Sometimes I make mistakes,

And I feel like I'm not good.

But You tell me You still love me,

Just like I knew You would.

Your words are like a flashlight

When the dark is all I see.

You help me to be brave

And be the person I should be.

Chorus

I can trust You, God,

You will never let me go.

Even when I'm sad and afraid,

You are with me, this I know.

When I speak the truth about You,

The Devil runs away.

He can't stay around Your light,

He has to leave today.

Bridge

You are good,

You are true.

You are strong,

You love me too.

Final Chorus

I can trust You, God,

You are always by my side.

When the Devil tells me lies,

I will let Your truth be my guide.

When I speak the truth about You,

The darkness has to run.

I am safe because I'm walking

With the Father and the Son.

Outro

I can trust You, God,

I can trust You every day.

You are bigger than my fears,

And the Devil has to run away.

(You can't stay here!)
