The moon is sitting in his favourite moment
The stars are by his side
But I can tell it's going to take you a minute
Before you sleep tonight
And I know that you might feel alone
In the quiet of the night
And how you long to keep the light on
Remember His word, is a lamp
And a light, to your path
And Jesus promised to be with you
Where you are, where you are
You don't have to be afraid, of the dark anymore
Because His truth will keep the light on, in your heart
Yes His truth will keep the light on
This old world is going to keep on spinning
But you're going to be alright
'Cause there's not a minute, that he's not here in it
Standing by you side
And I know that you might feel alone
In the mystery tonight
But you can always keep the light on
Because His word, is a lamp
And a light, to your path
And Jesus promised to be with you
Where you are, where you are
And you don't have to be afraid, of the dark anymore
Because His truth will keep the light on, in your heart
Yes His truth will keep the light on
He'll keep your burning, pure and clean
If you'll let His light shine on everything
And bring all that's broken
Into the brightness of Jesus
And He will light up your life, like the Tennessee sky
You'll glow in the dark, like a firefly
And you'll stand like a lighthouse
A beacon of hope in the night
Because His word, is a lamp
And a light, to your path
And Jesus promised to be with you
Where you are, where you are
And you don't have to be afraid, of the dark anymore
Because His truth will keep the light on, in your heart
Yes His truth will keep the light on
In your heart, in your heart...
