God Is the Light - Raihan, Yusuf Islam

How great the wonders of the heavens

And the timeless beauty of the night

How great -- then how great the creator?

And its star like priceless jewels far beyond the reach of kings

Bow down for the shepard guiding him home

But how many eyes are closed to the wonder of this night?

Like pearls, hidden, deep beneath a dark stream of desires

But like dreams vanish with the call to prayer

And the dawn extinguishes night — here too are signs

God is the light

God is the light

How great the beauty of the Earth and the creatures who dwell on her

How great -- then how great the creator?

As it’s mountains pierce the clouds hight about the lives of men

Weeping rivers for thousands of years

But how many hearts are closed to the wonders of this sight?

Like birds in a cage, asleep with closed wings

But as work stops with the call to prayer

And the birds recite — here too are signs

God is the light

God is the light

How great the works of man and the things he makes

How great -- then how great the creator?

Though he strives to reach the heavens he can barely survive

The wars of the world he lives in

Yet how many times he’s tried, himself to immortalize?

Like his parents before him in the garden of Eden

But like the sun sets with the call to prayer

And surrenders to the night here too are signs

God is the light everlasting

God is the light everlasting

God is the light everlasting

God is the light everlasting
