Let There Be Light
Point Of Grace Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light
From the beginning the Father
Had a magnificent plan
Revealed through the law and the prophets
You spoke after centuries of silence
In the midst of a still, starry night
And Emmanuel 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 white
Hope for the hopeless was born on that night
When God sent His Son and said, 'Let there be light'
Let there be light
People who walked in great darkness
Gathered from near and afar
Shepherds with flocks in their keeping
Three kings who follow a star
Together the poor and the richest
Witness 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 white
Hope for the hopeless was born on that night
When God sent His Son and said, 'Let there be light'
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
(Shines in our home)
(Star of wonder, star of beauty bright)
Let there be light, let it shine bright
Piercing the darkness with dazzling white
Hope for the hopeless was born on that night
When God sent His Son and said, 'Let there be light'
Let there be light
Let there be light, let it shine bright
Piercing the darkness with dazzling white
Hope for the hopeless was born on that night
When God sent His Son and said, 'Let there be light'
Let there be light
