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
