THE LIGHT

Verse1
Stop and think about the steps you're taking
Can't you see the only place they lead is away from Me?
Blinded by the night and now your soul is aching
There'll be no second chance for you to change your heart, and find The Way

Verse2
Long ago the Son was sent to cast out darkness
Numbered were the days of that undying flame
To shine among the lost and show the path of promise
So little time remains for you to see that light, before it fades

Chorus
Too soon, will He come too soon
for you to see that it's meant to be?
Believe before its too late
He waits for you, don't hesitate!
There's no other way... but The Light ...
No other way... but The Light ... no other Way

{Lead Solo}

Chorus
Too soon, will He come too soon
for you to see that it's meant to be?
Believe before its too late
He waits for you, don't hesitate!
Too soon, will He come too soon?
Why can't you see what you mean to Me?
Believe before its too late
walk in The Light don't hesitate!
There's no other way... but The Light

Outro
No other way... but The Light ...
No other way... but The Light ...
No other way... but The Light ...
Shine your light on me...

 

THE LIGHT is the first song written in the "Contemporary Christian Rock" genre that David Van Kleeck composed - way back in 1989! This song is unique due to its lyric structure being sung from the point of view of God to everyone in the World. At this time, no other song of this genre has been found to be written in this "first person" style with God being the one making the statements. Because of this, THE LIGHT has drawn as much criticism as the song POINT OF VIEW, in which many listeners have found certain lyrics and phrasings to be too controversial for wide spread acceptance.

When asked about these critical statements, David replied simply, "I write what I feel and do not care to filter the God given gift in order to please a wider audience or the critics. As with Faith, everyone is entitled to their own beliefs and opinions. That Free Will is a very powerful way God expresses His love for us ALL."
