[Verse 1] How do we fight the darkness When the arrows start to fly? When the whispers come like fire Dressed up as truth inside They tell me I am broken They tell me I’m alone They tell me I should carry What Christ has already known [Pre-Chorus] But I breathe in slow And I let fear go I don’t have to answer every flame [Chorus] The darts cannot pierce the light When I’m resting in truth tonight I see the lie, but I don’t let it in I feel the fire, but it cannot win I sit with peace I breathe with grace I look at fear And I see its face The darts fall down The shadows depart They cannot enter A mindful heart [Verse 2] I used to take them deeper And fight them in my mind Wrestle every accusation Searching for the line But Jesus stood in stillness With love that did not shake He knew the voice of heaven From every voice that breaks [Pre-Chorus] So I breathe in slow And I let Christ show The truth beneath the burning pain [Chorus] The darts cannot pierce the light When I’m resting in truth tonight I see the lie, but I don’t let it in I feel the fire, but it cannot win I sit with peace I breathe with grace I look at fear And I see its face The darts fall down The shadows depart They cannot enter A mindful heart [Bridge] Watch and pray Be still and know Not every thought Is mine to hold Love is stronger Peace is near Truth is louder Than my fear I don’t need to swing I don’t need to run I stand in the light Of the Holy One [Final Chorus] The darts cannot pierce the light When I’m resting in truth tonight I see the lie, but I don’t let it in I feel the fire, but it cannot win I sit with peace I breathe with grace I look at fear And I see its face The darts fall down The shadows depart They cannot enter A mindful heart [Outro] Breathe in peace Breathe out fear Christ is love And love is here The darts fall down The lies depart They cannot enter A mindful heart
