Intro

The influence of darkness

is Satan deceiving, corrupting, binding

and controlling humankind.

The influence of Satan has an aura of death.

All those in its domain are doomed to perish.

Verse 1

After you have sincerely prayed to God,

you turn your heart to Him completely.

You’re moved by God’s Spirit, willing to wholly give yourself.

That’s when you escape the influence of darkness.

If all that man does is pleasing to God,

if all that he does fits what God requires of him,

then he lives within the words of God,

under God’s care and protection.

Chorus

If you want to be praised by God,

you must escape Satan’s influence of darkness,

open your heart and turn it to God,

turn it to God completely.

Verse 2

If men cannot practice the words of God,

always fooling Him and going through the motions,

they’re under influence of darkness,

they’re under influence of darkness.

Those whom God has not saved or who don’t believe in God

live within Satan’s domain, under influence of darkness.

Even those who believe may not all live in the light,

for they may not live inside God’s words, and may not obey God.

Chorus

If you want to be praised by God,

you must escape Satan’s influence of darkness,

open your heart and turn it to God,

turn it to God completely.

Outro

Have you turned it to Him? Are your deeds praised by God?

Are they what God asks? Do they fit with the truth?

Examine yourself always, read God’s words intently,

lay your heart before Him, love Him with a true heart.

Expend yourself with the devotion for God.

Such men will surely receive God’s praise,

receive God’s praise, receive God’s praise.
