Lyrics
[Verse 1] In the shadows where the whispers blend, Witches and warlocks cast their spells to send, Proud and haughty, they try to quiet your voice, Blind and foolish hearts, they mock, they rejoice. Even loved ones have turned their backs cold, In the midst of the storm, you must be bold. [Chorus] Despite what they have done to you, Pray for them that are of the dark crew. Be patient and forgiving to your enemies, Pray the Holy Spirit guide them to remedies. [Verse 2] They plot and scheme, seeking counsel in disguise, Bringing your fate to courts where darkness lies, Allies with demons, they march on with glee, Mocking your spirit, wanting you on your knees. But in the light, truth seeks to emerge, And you stand firm, ready to surge. [Chorus] Despite what they have done to you, Pray for them that are of the dark crew. Be patient and forgiving to your enemies, Pray the Holy Spirit guide them to remedies. [Bridge] The evil and the blind know not the way of lights. They only know how to create chaos and blights. They also have rejected and mocked Jesus. And have made their towns and cities like unto Jebus. [Chorus] Despite what they have done to you, Pray for them that are of the dark crew. Be patient and forgiving to your enemies, Pray the Holy Spirit guide them to remedies. [Outro] So gather ‘round the holy altar, where the dove flies high, Forget about the stone circle so that your soul can thrive, Your prayer is the shield with love as the key. In the storm, find peace in Jesus, let it be.
