"The Singer (Let There Be Light)" lyrics - DAVID PHELPS

The music began at his command
And the singer drew his breath
The melody rose and dawned on the land
And pierced the emptiness

And from a barren and lonely place
Life began to spring
And on the stage of time and space
God threw back His head and began to sing

Let there be light
Invade the darkness
Fill up the void
Replace the noise with sweet harmony

And let there be joy
And echoes of laughter
And the singer sings on
And still writes the song of the redeemed

Now though beautifully sung, the song went unheard
And darkness returned again
But God had a plan in the second verse
To win back the hearts of men

A star rose up in the eastern sky
That night in Bethlehem
And as the Baby Jesus cried
God sang out His song and the angels joined in

Let there be light
Invade the darkness
Fill up the void
Replace the noise with sweet harmony

And let there be joy
And echoes of laughter
And the singer sings on
And still writes the song of the redeemed

And every time a soul receives
That joyful Christmas song
He rises from His throne
And all creation sings along
