In the beginning
You brought this world to life
With only a whisper
Let there be light.
Now here in my heart,
Won't You come do the same,
Shine in my darkness,
And chase it away.
Let there be light
Inside my life
So the whole world sees
You in me
God let Your grace
Make my heart blaze
Like a burning sun
In the middle of the night
Let there be light
Even if it hurts,
I know it's worth the pain.
God won't You burn this
Old self away?
Oh, this is redemption,
And this is the change I need,
And it's been a long time coming.
Let there be light
Inside my life
So the whole world sees
You in me
God let Your grace
Make my heart blaze
Like a burning sun
In the middle of the night
Let there be light
Jesus, I don't wanna hide anymore,
So chase out the shadows
And kick down the doors.
I'm ready for this, I've finally decided
To let the light in.
Let there be light
Inside my life
So the whole world sees
You in me
God let Your grace
Make my heart blaze
Like a burning sun
In the middle of the night
Let there be light
Let there be light
Let there be light
Let there be light
