When I don’t call you

There’s a… voice in the quiet…
When I let You fade away…
Starts out like a whisper…
Then it’s all I hear it say…

Tells me I ain’t worth much…
Says I’m too far gone…
And I start believin’…
When I don’t call You, Lord…

The devil gets louder… when I don’t call Your name…
Turns every little doubt into a hurricane…
Makes me feel like I’m fightin’ this fight alone…
Like I’ve wandered too far from home…

But the moment I drop… down to pray…
I feel them chains start breakin’ away…
Yeah, I remember I’m never alone…
When I call… You home…

I’ve been down that road…
Where the darkness wins…
Where the silence grows…
And it pulls you in…

Tried to drown that voice…
With anything I could find…
But it kept on talkin’…
Till I gave You my time…

The devil gets louder… when I don’t call Your name…
Starts pourin’ fire on a heart full of pain…
Makes me feel like I ain’t strong enough…
Like I’ll never be enough…

But the second I fall… to my knees…
I feel Your mercy cover me…
Yeah, I hear the truth in my soul…
When I let… You take control

Ain’t no lie… louder than silence…
Ain’t no peace… without Your guidance…

I can run… I can hide…
But I can’t outrun what’s inside…


The devil gets louder… when I don’t call Your name…
But Your love comes rushin’ like a holy rain…
Washin’ every lie… every fear away…
Bringin’ me back to grace…

And I ain’t ever too lost to be found…
When I lay my burdens down…
Yeah, the darkness don’t stand a chance…
When I give… You my hands

So I’ll keep callin’…
Every single day…

‘Cause the devil gets quiet…
When I pray
