Light Of Love
Tammy Trent Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Light of Love, shine on me, I'm waiting for the break of day
Here I am, how I long to feel the sun upon my face
I'll let the sweet light surround me
Falling down from above, I am found in Your love

I know that Heaven's light can make its way to a heart
A ray of hope can make the day of the dark
It's so hard to believe, it's too good to be true
But I'm seeing in me a reflection of You, Light of Love

Light of Love, here's my heart, I'm tired of trying to wrestle free
I'll reach up for the love that's coming down to cover me
I've started seeing things clearer
If the mirror is true, Lord, I'm nearer to You

I know that Heaven's light can make its way to a heart
A ray of hope can make the day of the dark
It's so hard to believe, it's too good to be true
But I'm seeing in me a reflection of You, Light of Love

One thing is certain, one thing is sure
This old world is darker than night
And colder than winter
And they're never ever gonna see You if You're not in me

I know that Heaven's light can make its way to a heart
A ray of hope can make the day of the dark
It's so hard to believe, it's too good to be true
Are they seeing in me a reflection of You

Are they feeling love, do they know that You care




Will You shine into my life so the world sees You there
Light of Love, Light of Love, Light of Love
