Let There Be Light

There is no darkness that can hold us down
Poverty and sickness have to go
We are the body of the living Christ
This is the truth that we now hold
We have authority, walk in love and unity
Time for us to stand up and say...

Let there be love, let there be light
Peace in the storm and joy through the night
We've overcome, been justified
Let there be love, let there be light

You read the paper, watch the evening news
You know that something's got to give
But we have built on a foundation strong
We are redeemed and we shall live
We will fight and we will win
Jesus broke the chains of sin
Given us the power to say...

Let there be love, let there be light
Peace in the storm and joy through the night
We've overcome, been justified
Let there be love, let there be light

In the beginning
Darkness covered the face of the deep
But the Spirit of God moved
God stood to his feet
And with a might voice, He said
"Let there be light!"
And the heavens and earth were filled
With love and light
(Oh, yeah)
And in this crucial time and history
Darkness would cover our homes
Our schools and our nation
But as children of the most high God
Let's stand to our feet
And with a might voice say
"Let there be light!"

Let there be love, let there be light
Peace in the storm and joy through the night
We've overcome, been justified
Let there be love, let there be light

Let there be joy, let there be peace
Let there be kindness
Let there be joy, let there be peace
Let there be comfort to the lonely

Let there be love, let there be light
Peace in the storm and joy through the night
We've overcome, been justified
Let there be love, let there be light

Let there be love, let there be light
Peace in the storm and joy through the night
(Oh, yeah)
We've overcome, been justified

Let there be love
In the middle of the fear and the hate
And the darkest night
Let there be love
When everything's wrong and nothing
But nothing seems right
Let there be love
Let there be light
Let there be light
Let there be light
