The Singer

I the music began at his command and the singer drew his breath the melody rose and dawned on the land and pierced the emptiness and from a barren and lonely place life began to spring and on the stage of time and space God threw back his head and began to sing Chorus Let there be light Invade the darkness Fill up the void Replace the noise with sweet harmony And let there be joy And echoes of laughter And the singer sings on And still writes the song of the redeemed II Now, though beautifully sung The song went unheard And darkness returned again But God had a plan in the second verse To win back the hearts of men A star rose up in the eastern sky That night in bethlehem And as the baby Jesus cried God sang out his song And the angels joined in Chorus Let there be light Invade the darkness Fill up the void Replace the noise with sweet harmony And let there be joy And echoes of laughter And the singer sings on And still writes the song of the redeemed And everytime a soul receives That joyful Christmas song He rises from his throne And all creation sings along
