Let There Be Light

I wrote a song this year - my first one.  I wanted the Primary children to sing something new for the Primary Program this year, and I came up with a short song that I combined with "I am Like A Star".  We did a few different "mash-ups" for the program, and you can read more here.  I later wrote a few more verses, but only have a recording of the first verse.

1) The earth in the beginning

was dark and without light

but a plan had been prepared

for us to come

We knew we would be tested

to choose from wrong and right

and a path was giv'n

to guide us safely home

2) Our parents in the garden

Father Adam, Mother Eve

Made the choice that gave us

all a chance to live;

A body for our spirit

is everything we'd need

to create the light that

we can freely give.

3)We have a living prophet

to guide us in our day

And he helps us to see

what we can become;

We also have a family,

our closest source of light,

and can live with them

eternally as one.

Chorus:

Let there be light

and let the whole world see

the promises that He

has made are true

May I shine bright

and may I always be

a source of light

my whole life through.
