Let There Be Light

From the beginning the Father

Had a magnificent plan

Revealed through the law and the prophets

To fulfill the redemption of man

He spoke and sent trees of silence

In the midst of a still starry night

And Immanuel came down among us

And the Father said, "Let there be light"

Let there be light

Let it shine bright

Piercing the darkness with dazzling light

Hope for the hopeless was born on that night

When God sent His Son

And said let there be light

People who walked in great darkness

Gathered from near and afar

Shepherds with flocks in their keeping

Three kings who followed a star

Together the poor and the richest

Witnessed that Bethlehem night

And the sky full of angels announcing

The birth of a glorious light

Let there be light

Let it shine bright

Piercing the darkness with dazzling light

Hope for the hopeless was born on that night

When God sent His Son

And said let there be light

We who are His have this calling

To praise Him and make His name known

So one day the presence of Jesus

Shines in every heart and every home

Let there be light

Let it shine bright

Piercing the darkness with dazzling light

Hope for the hopeless was born on that night

When God sent His Son

And said let there be light
