It Won’t Last Forever, “Only For A Night” Out Now
“Only For A Night” is a late-night anthem of survival and surrender, transforming moments of near collapse into a bold declaration that with Jesus, darkness never has the final say. Craig Watson, Pastor Charles A.R., and Baruch deliver a powerful fusion of hip-hop and faith that speaks directly to anyone navigating pain, confusion, or uncertainty. With anthemic energy and uplifting undertones, the record reassures listeners that even in their lowest moments, God is actively working toward restoration, direction, and lasting joy.
At its core, the song captures the tension between struggle and surrender. It reflects the reality of mental and spiritual warfare while anchoring listeners in the promise that hardship is temporary. Drawing from the same inspiration as the broader project, the track becomes both a personal testimony and a communal declaration—reminding believers that no matter how dark the night may feel, breakthrough is on the horizon.
Culturally, “Only For A Night” resonates deeply with a generation facing anxiety, identity challenges, and emotional fatigue. It reframes pain not as a permanent condition, but as a passing moment met by divine intervention. By blending celebratory, confident production with reflective and hopeful messaging, the song creates space for both honesty and victory—bridging real-life struggles with spiritual truth in a way that feels authentic, empowering, and timely.
Lyrics:
[Chorus: Craig Watson and Pastor Charles A.R.]
I was finna crash
Driving through the night
Tryna see the path
Looking for the light
It was going left
Jesus made it right
Weeping may last but
Only for a night night
Only for a night night
Only for a night night
Only for a night night
Only for a night night
It was going left
Jesus made it right
Weeping may last but
Only for a night night
[Verse 1: Craig Watson]
Only for a night night
Finna wake up I try
Swinging to the left
And swinging to the
Right it’s looking like I’m
Tryna fight Mike
I been running in the race
And fighting not to trip I’m
Trying to keep my shoes tied
I ain’t finna do no suicide
Boy I’m Donatello by the
Sewer sides okay
Yeah I’m cool with God
And He move the car
So I’m moving far
I won’t lose at all
I been driving I ain’t finna
Pump the brakes yeah
I been driving I ain’t finna
Fade away
[Chorus: Craig Watson and Pastor Charles A.R.]
I was finna crash
Driving through the night
Tryna see the path
Looking for the light
It was going left
Jesus made it right
Weeping may last but
Only for a night night
Only for a night night
Only for a night night
Only for a night night
Only for a night night
It was going left
Jesus made it right
Weeping may last but
Only for a night night
[Verse 2: Pastor Charles A.R.]
Look, all in all, I was all in for the cause
I was driven by my calling, not the call of the applause
And everybody wanna ride until you idle and you pause
But how you think your drive gone survive with no exhaust?
Sleep deprived, I was nodding off, hit the streets while them tires bald
Swerving lines man that night was long, but we serve a God that can write on walls
So lift up your head and open ya eyes, and peep all the signs, and you won’t fall
That weeping gone last for only one night, that joy in the morning, gone brighten it all
[Chorus: Craig Watson and Pastor Charles A.R.]
I was finna crash
Driving through the night
Tryna see the path
Looking for the light
It was going left
Jesus made it right
Weeping may last but
Only for a night night
Only for a night night
Only for a night night
Only for a night night
Only for a night night
It was going left
Jesus made it right
Weeping may last but
Only for a night night
[Verse 3: Baruch]
Was thinking bout taking my life
Instead of taking them pills
I got saved and stop taking advice
Why would I listen to people that’s not in the Word?
It’s Miranda, I’m reading my rights
I got the power to cut off the power on enemies
Ain’t no one dimming my light
Weeping me come but it ain’t gone stay
Like starts in the sky yeah it’s only for a night
Crash out, bad route
Let ya pride drive
That’s a man down
Hoping we stumble, that’s one way to fumble
I’m blocking that sin yeah I’m going Mutumbo
Not blocking my shine, got a light in time tunnel
He told me I’m great, I’m still keeping it humble
A son of the King, that’s a real royal rumble
He said it’s gon’ happen, won’t be a Rebuttal
