hatred steals the light away,
leaves us in the dark afraid.
People frantic, look around
Hard to say where hope is found
It's not enough to kneel and pray
won't you stand and fight
Stand and fight, you can face the night
Won't you open up your eyes
Won't you stand and fight
One time midnight came at noon,
stole the sun, sealed his doom,
hatred dealt the fatal wound.
Love was fighting, standing still,
evil aged and took the hill,
Stand and fight, won't you stand and fight,
in the power of his love?
Stand and fight, you can face the night,
Won't you open up your eyes
There is strength enough for the victory
won't you stand and fight,
won't you stand and fight,
And the power of his love
Won't you open up your eyes
To the power love provides
It's time to open up your eyes
To the power love provides
So stand and fight, stand and fight,
in the power of His love.
God, stand and fight, face the night,
in the power of His love.
Won't you open up your eyes
There is strength enough for the victory.
won't you stand and fight,
in the power of His love.
We've got to stand and fight,
won't you face the night,
in the power of His love.
to the power of the light that is faith
