God is the Light



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

God is the Light Everlasting
