God Is The Light

How great the wonders 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 a dark stream of desires.
But like dreams vanish with the 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 it's mountains pierce the clouds

High about 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 the call to prayer
And the birds recite.
Here too are signs:
God is the Light. God is the 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 immortalise?
Like his parents before him
In the Garden of Eden,
But like the sun sets with the 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
