Words by Gloria Gaither / Music by Benjamin Gaither
Verse: Kings and shepherds make their way Straight to where a baby lay Rich and poor and lonely Bow before this sight A light, a star has led them to this place The Word that's been echoing through space Becomes a child tonight
Chorus: Light to shine in the darkest night Light to make all the wrong things right Light to show everyone the way Light to shine where a virgin lay Star of David, the prophet's star Yahweh--God come to where we are Star to mark the Messiah's birth Star of heaven now touches earth Tonight
Angel voices fill the air Angel wings are everywhere Light so bright it's blinding Shepherds shake with fright A song, a warmth begins to flood the hill "Fear not! Peace to you--good will Comes to earth tonight"
(Repeat Chorus)
Light will be so bright It will shine through the darkest night Send down Your holy light
