From the recording LET THE SON SHINE ON
Lyrics
VERSE 1:
We live for the last time, alone in the dark of the night;
Where belonging is lost in longing,
And beginnings are only endings.
As the waters pour over us with new life,
Then darkness fades from sight for the first time.
REFRAIN:
So let the Son shine in
And be born again for the first time.
Rise with the Lord our God to a new dawn
And let the Son shine on.
VERSE 2:
We die for the last time, beneath these darkening skies;
Where the storms come to grow and gather,
And the floods of life flow forever.
As we rise from "blindness" with Jesus Christ,
We see the Light of life for the first time.
VERSE 3:
We live for the first time, with him in his marvelous light;
Where the endings are new beginnings,
And all longing is blessed with belonging.
As we break the bread and share the wine,
We taste our lasting life for the first time.
