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 its mountains pierce the clouds
|
High above 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 reside ? 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
|
