The darkness was vast
It covered all the earth
God saw it and saw it was not good
He stretched out His hand
And darkness was reversed
His splendor displayed as only our God could
With four words everything changed
The portrait of creation rearranged
He said, “Let there be light.”
And there was light
Causing the shadows to take flight
He spoke and the difference was day and night
Let there be light
The God who formed us
Saw our heavy chains
He sent forth His Son to wear the sinner’s crown
And die a sinner’s death
And take a sinner’s grave
Creation’s hope buried deep inside the ground
At sunrise everything changed
God spoke and redemption found a way
He said, “Let there be light.”
And there was light
Causing the demons to take flight
He rose and the difference was day and night
Let there be light
The light now shines in the darkness
And the darkness will never overcome
And all praise is now given to Jesus
The author of the light and the radiating One
He said, “Let there be light.”
And there was light
Causing the shadows to take flight
He spoke and the difference was day and night
“Let there be light.”
And there was light
Causing the demons to take flight
He rose and the difference was day and night
Let there be light
Let there be light
