God Is the Light

How great the wonder 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 the dark stream of desires

But like dreams vanish with a 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 its mountains pierce the clouds

High above the lives of men

Weeping rivers for thousands of years

But how many hearts are closed

To the wonders of this sight?

Like birds in a cage

Asleep with closed wings

But like work stops with a call to prayer

And the birds recite

Here too are signs

God is the light, God the is 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 immortalize?

Like his parents before him

In the Garden of Eden

But like the sun sets with a call to prayer

And surrenders to the night

Here too are signs

God is the light, everlasting

God is the light, everlasting

God is the light, everlasting

God is the light, everlasting
