Song - Let There Be Light

I wrote the foundation of this song during a community Thanksgiving service in which I was singing with inSpirit Men’s Chorus. One of the participants was a young lady with a beautiful voice. During the intro of her song, there were images on the screen of planets, stars and the earth, and the music was very ethereal. I thought the song was going to be about the creation of our world, but it went a different direction altogether. I realized that would be a great way to intro a song about God speaking our world into existence, beginning with light. And then other references of light in the Bible came to mind, and “Let There Be Light” was born. I pray that this song will help each of us understand that God was speaking to you and me when He said , “You are the light of the world.”
