Lyrics
God Is The Light
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
How great the wonders of the heavens
And the timeless beauty of the night
How great - then how great the creator?
And its stars like priceless jewels
Far beyond the reach of kings
Bow down for the shepherd guiding him home.
But how many eyes are closed
To the wonder of this night?
Like pearls, hidden, deep beneath a dark
Stream of desires.
But like dreams vanish with the call to prayer
And the dawn extinguishes night - here too are signs.
God is the light - god is the light
How great the beauty of the earth and the creatures
Who dwell on her.
How great - then how great the creator?
As it's mountains pierce the clouds
High about the lives of men
Weeping rivers for thousands of years.
But how many hearts are closed
To the wonders of this sight?
Like birds on a cage, asleep with closed wings
But as work stops with the call to prayer
And the birds recite - here too are signs
God is the light - god is the light
How great the works of man and the things he makes
How great - then how great the creator?
Though he strives to reach the heavens
He can barely survive
The wars of the world he lives in.
Yet, how many times he's tried,
Himself to immortalise?
Like his parents before him in the garden of eden
But like the sun sets with the call to prayer
And surrenders to the night here too are signs
God is the light everlasting
