About the Hymn
Let There Be Light was born from meditating on 2 Corinthians 4:6, a verse that has long held a special place in my heart. In it, the apostle Paul draws a striking parallel between God's first command at creation, "Let there be light,"" and His regenerating work in the human heart through the Gospel of Christ.
To explore that connection, I built the hymn around a structured movement: from the dawn of creation, to the cross where Christ became the Light for us, to the glory of beholding His face eternally. Before writing, I mapped out a field of words and themes surrounding light and darkness, drawing out both theological depth and poetic imagery.
My hope is that believers will see afresh the divine thread that runs from the first “light” to the light that now shines in our hearts through Christ. And I pray that the Holy Spirit may even use these words to awaken those still in darkness, calling them to repentance and the radiant hope of salvation.
