A Child of Light



If you could be a child
a child of light
you would encounter the sky
each day and each night

You could be the sun and the moon
with God as your guardian
as his love shines thru
He'd watch over you each day and night
guiding you with his very light

Watching his every light shine thru
for a child he loves
with dreams that come true

You are a child
a child of light
with Gods love by your side
each day and each night
