(Genesis ch.1 Vs.3 God said let there be light... on the first day Vs.19 God created the sun moon and stars... on the 4th day! Where'd the light come from before the fourth day? God is light!)
Vs1 If all the stars from the firmament fell If the moon were to float away on the sea And if the sun was taken away as well Don't be afraid … … the light of God still shines on Thee! Chorus The light of God still shines bright today Bright as before time had begun Creation done in just seven days And He was the Light In every one Yes, God's light shone before the sun Vs2 So take all the stars, the sun and the moon Although I'd miss the beauty they bring The darkness will never ever win through The Light drives it out, in Jesus's name! Chorus *repeat* Vs3 God was there on holy ground He spoke to Moses through the bush aflame The cloven tongue of fire, and Spirit came down Giving us His light to cast out darkness, fear, and shame! Chorus*repeat

Nice comparison of literal light sources with the true Source of light, the Creator of everything good. Great to see you getting comments too

What an uplifting poem, dear Crystol. Even if the Sun, the moon and the stars fade away, darkness will not obscure us, for we are in the light of God. That light will continue to shine and illumine our paths. All glory to God. Amen.

Lovely scene/song you've penned here, Krystal... And I really like your insight as to where the light came from Day 1 through Day 3! ~ Gershon

Thanks Paula! For once this is just written from an idea that formed when writing the acrostic day star and after reading Genesis again. No contest this time lol! Xo
