God Is The Light Lyrics - Cat Stevens

God is the Light 

How great the wonders of the heavens 

And the timeless beauty of the night 

How great then how great the Creator? 

And its stars like priceless jewels 

Far beyond the reach of kings 

Bow down for the shepherd 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 

High 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 on 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
