Let there be light
when your hopes have all ended
Let there be light
when your dreams have all died
Let there be light
when the world shouts you down,
Oh Lord, let there be light.

Let there be light
when your fears turn to failures
Let there be light
in the helpless, hopeless night
Let there be light
for a future full of tears.
Oh Lord, let there be light.

And I'm praying there is light
for the darkness of my soul
I'm hoping there is truth
in the things that I've been told.
I'm praying for the morning
to break the deepest night
Oh Lord, let there be light.

Let there be light
when the darkness is descending
Let there be light

when the night is closing in.
Let there be light

when you're lost and far from home
Oh Lord, let there be light

ooh Geoff ...

this is resonating with me so much. i read it and I find myself praying ... yes Lord, let there be light ... let there be light ... let it be.

Some dark times for me at the moment and yet I will look for the light that shines in the darkness ... let there be light Lord, let there be.

Yes.. let there be light beyond our hope of ever coming out of the blackness... a very faint cry, however a cry that somehow cannot let go of the reality of that light. This poem has become a song and I sing it regularly at concerts. Thanks for stopping by.
