The Light
Michelle Weeks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He is the light, the light of the world
He is the light
He is the light, the light of the world

When darkness comes to bind you
Look for the light
God's light will surround you
And everything will be alright

Now he may not come when you want Him
But I tell you, He's right on time
It may take a while, but don't lose hope
And keep this one thing in your mind

Look to him, he'll be the key, depend on him, he'll always care
Every burden, he'll pare, 'Cause he's the light (The Light)

He is the light, the light of the world
He is the light
He is the light, the light of the world

You've got to believe
That God will solve all your problems
From the very dark

He's the answer and the finisher
He has the last say
So no matter what you're going through
Help is on the way.

Look to him, he'll be the key, depend on him, he'll always care
Every burden, he'll pare, 'Cause he's the light (The Light)

He is the light, the light of the world
He is the light
He is the light, the light of the world

Lift your hand up to the sky




Don't you look down
He will be right there
