Thanks to the injection of a swinging guitar line and a catchy sing-along chorus, "I'm Not Afraid of the Dark" is nothing less than an unpretentious pop tune. A song with a Christian lyric that glistens like a glowing ray of light in these dark Corona times. There are scripture references to Isaiah 41:10, Isaiah 1:18, Joshua 1:9, Psalm 23:4, Psalm 34:4, Psalm 56:3 and Romans 4:25. With a tune like this in your headphones, you no longer have to be afraid of the dark. Just join in the roar! There is hope in uncertain times.

It doesn't matter where I go
where I was a while ago
You are always by my side
All I know is that Your word is true
when I'm afraid I put my trust in You
You are my God, you are my Guide
(so) I won't be terrified
If I walk through the vale
of the shadow of the night
Your compassions never fail
You always shed your light
No fear 'cause You're always with me
I'm not afraid of the dark
Your staff protects and comforts me
(I'm not afraid of the dark)
It doesn't matter what I did
'cause You raised up from the dead
You washed my sins now I'm white as snow
All I know is that when I'm in tears
You will answer and free me from my fears
and Your love will overflow
'cause this is what I know
If I walk through the vale...
No fear 'cause You're always with me
