The Singer Songtext
von David Phelps

The music began at His command
And the Singer drew his breath
The melody rose and dawned on the land
And pierced the emptyness
And from a barren and lonely place
Life began to spring
As on the stage of time and space
God threw back His head and began to sing

Let there be light
Invade the darkness
Fill up the void
Replace the noise
With sweet harmony
Let there be joy
And echoes of laughter
And the Singer sings on
And still writes the song of the redeemed


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 man
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

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 every time a soul receives that joyful Christmas song

He rises from HIs throne and all creation sings along

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 the Singer sings on and still writes the song Of the redeemed

Let there be light let the darkness be shaken
Let there be light let the soul be awakened

Of the redeemed

Let there be light
