Andrew Peterson - Let There Be Light lyrics

When the mandolin sang like a bird on the wing In the hands of Bill Monroe When Chet played guitar like a walk in the park Like a prodigal son coming home They spoke into being the work of their hands From the void of the wire and the wood And they stood on the stage And they sang and they played And they said that it was good (chorus) Let there be light Let there be love Let there be light, let there be love Let there be music Now, Arron's a preacher and I play guitar And Jim, he can tune up your Ford Dave is in law school for 800 years For the sake of the sick and the poor The work of our hands is the salt of the earth The music we make is the light of the world Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine When your spirit is hovering over the deep In the image of God just look into that darkness and speak Let there be light, let there be love, let there be music So let the mandolin play like a mother's embrace Let the fiddle be warm as a smile Let the guitar be bright as a friend at your side When you're lost on a long lonely mile Let the music be sweet as the washing of feet And as gentle as a kiss Let the love that we feel be as light as a reel And as real as the love we give Copyright 2003 New Spring Publishing, Inc
