Light After Darkness

After every darkness, there will be light
After every darkness, there IS light
Let it illuminate every corner
Of every dark moment we have experienced

Light penetrates every shadow
It reveals everything there is to see
That light shall appear for us all
We must believe it will appear

Come, see the light of the world
Its promise will lift us above the darkness
Let it lift us above the dark cloud of evil
Let it cleanse the darkness and enlighten each soul

So, come, come, and welcome the light
The light of our salvation
The light of justice
The light that lifts us all.
