Come To The Light
How do you describe the light to the blind
When darkness is all they can see?
How can you tell them how great the light shines,
Or the joy that the brightness can bring?
Come near to the light and you will feel
The radient warmth you can't see,
Your eyes once blind will open in wonder
And free from the darkness you'll be...
{Chorus}
Come to the Light, wherever you are,
Come to the warm and bright Morning Star, Oh Yes,
Come to the Light, Come to the Light...
Where there is light no dark can exist,
And the light reveals what we do,
The choice to believe is like seeing the light
Oh now let the Light shine on you...
{Repeat Chorus}
Come near to the Light so you can feel
With your mind, your body and soul,
And then you'll see His majesty,
Oh the glory of Christ you'll behold!
{Repeat Chorus}

Our pastor was delivering a sermon on John the Baptist. He spoke of how John's primary mission was to be a witness to the Light. During the sermon, the pastor asked a question that I found very intriguing, "If you knew a person that was blind all their life and they never saw anything but darkness, how would you go about describing the light to that person?" He said that you would have to get the person close enough to the light that they could feel the heat so they could understand. This song starts out with the questions he raised on that Sunday, "How do you describe the Light to the blind?"
