Matthew West
Pushing Back The Dark
[Verse 1]
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?

[Pre-Chorus]
But oh, oh
Don't underestimate the God you follow

[Chorus]
Whatever you do, just don't look back (Woa-woah)
Oh, somebody needs the light you have (Woa-woah)
Whatever you do, just don't lose heart
Keep on pushing back the dark
Keep on pushing back the dark

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Whatever you do, just don't look back (Woa-woah)
Oh, somebody needs the light you have (Woa-woah)
Whatever you do, just don't lose heart
Keep on pushing back the dark
Keep on pushing back the dark
[Bridge]
(Let your light so shine)
(Let your light so shine)
(Let your light so shine)
Oh, oh, don't underestimate the God you follow
(Let your light so shine)
He is the light that burns inside your soul
(Let your light so shine)
So keep on shining 'til the whole world knows
(Let your light so shine)

[Chorus]
Whatever you do, just don't look back (Woa-woah)
Oh, somebody needs the light you have (Woa-woah)
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 (Woa-woah)
'Cause somebody needs the light you have (Woa-woah)
Whatever you do, just don't lose heart
Keep on pushing back the dark
Keep on pushing back the dark, yeah

[Outro]
(Let your light so shine)
When you feel like you're too small
(Let your light so shine)
To do any good at all
(Let your light so shine)
Like a sunrise through the window
(Let your light so shine)
Like a symphony crescendo
(Let your light so shine)
We are waking up again, we are rising from the dead
(Let your light so shine)
We are shining like the stars, we are pushing back the dark
(Let your light so shine)
Yeah, we are pushing back, pushing back the dark
(Let your light so shine)
We are pushing back, we are pushing back, pushing back the dark
(Let your light so shine)
Just pushing back, we are pushing back, pushing back the dark
(Let your light so shine)
