Darkness thick and heavy,
Black and steady screaming darkness
Anyone who hates his brother,
Who plans evil for another
Walks in darkness
Sonlight, warm and shining,
Purifying, welcome Sonlight
Everyone who loves completely
With a heart that opens freely
Walks in Sonlight
Chorus:
Let us love in the light
For love is from God
If we love what is right
We show whose we are
In a world of the dying
We're living our parts
If we love in the light
With all of our hearts
Blindness, terrifying, left for dying, spirit blindness
Anyone who thirsts for evil plots
His very own upheaval
Lost in blindness
New sight, truth unending, faith unbending, new sight
Everyone who seeks the father leaves the world
And all its bother
Sees with new sight

Michael W. Smith's 'Love In The Light' is a reflective Christian song contrasting darkness and light as metaphors for hatred and love. It encourages believers to love others genuinely, since love originates from God and demonstrates their identity as His children. The lyrics speak of spiritual blindness caused by evil intentions and the new sight received when seeking the Father. The chorus urges listeners to love wholeheartedly in the light, even in a world that is dying. The song draws on biblical themes of walking in light versus darkness, echoing passages like 1 John, and emphasizes love as the defining mark of faith.
