Come to the Light
Lyrics and arrangement by James Arkusinski

[Verse 1: Buddhists]

Searching for nirvana through endless wheel of life,
Counting beads of sorrow, clutching the chains of strife,
Emptiness can’t silence the storm inside your soul,
Attempts at liberation, can’t make the hurting whole.

[Verse 2: Animists]

Whispering to spirits in the night’s darkest veil,
Bound by ancient shadows, trapped cold by fear’s own tale,
Forests whisper warnings, rivers hold your dread,
But buried ancestors can’t raise to life the dead.

[Chorus:]

Come to the Light that breaks every chain,
Come to the Love that heals all your pain,
Come to the Savior, His promise is true,
He gave up His life to give life to you.

Let go of your struggles, let go of fear,
The joy of the Lord is drawing near.
Turn from the darkness, embrace what is right,
And find hope and peace — come to the light.

Come to the light (come to the light)

[Verse 3: Muslims]

Atonement by submission, in prayer five times a day,
By works and deeds you strive to walk the narrow way,
But burdens press you down, from sins so deep within,
The grace for which you long is more than discipline.

[Verse 4: Hindus]

Seeking understanding, caught in karma’s snare,
Appeasing many gods, chanting every prayer,
But endless births and deaths leave inner spirit torn,
Only one true Savior grants life that’s newly born.

[Chorus:]

Come to the Light that breaks every chain,
Come to the Love that heals all your pain,
Come to the Savior, His promise is true,
He gave up His life to give life to you.

Let go of your struggles, let go of fear,
The joy of the Lord is drawing near.
Turn from the darkness, embrace what is right,
And find hope and peace — come to the light.

Come to the light (come to the light)

[Bridge:]

No more striving, no more fear,
No more tears or guilt to bear,
With arms wide open, He calls you by name,
Forgiveness enough, to erase all your shame,
Yes, life everlasting — come to the Light.
Oh-oh-oh.

[Verse 5: Atheists)

Denying all that’s sacred, trusting in the science,
Reason above mystery, faith killed by defiance,
But logic can’t give the answer to cries of life’s despair,
Hope beyond the reason; it’s calling you to care.

[Chorus:]

Come to the Light that breaks every chain,
Come to the Love that heals all your pain,
Come to the Savior, His promise is true,
He gave up His life to give life to you.

Let go of your struggles, let go of fear,
The joy of the Lord is drawing you near.
Turn from the darkness, embrace what is right,
And find hope and peace — come to the light.

Come to the light (come to the light)

[Bridge:]

No more striving, no more fear,
No more tears or guilt to bear,
With arms wide open, He calls you by name,
Forgiveness enough — to erase all your shame,
Yes, life everlasting — come to the Light.
Oh-oh-oh. Oh-oh-oh. Oh-oh-oh. Oh-oh-oh.

[Chorus]
Come to the Light that breaks every chain,
Come to the Love that heals all your pain,
Come to the Savior, His promise is true,
He gave up His life to give life to you.

Let go of your struggles, let go of fear,
The joy of the Lord is drawing near.
Turn from the darkness, embrace what is right,
And find hope and peace — come to the light.

Come to the light (come to the light).

[outro]

Come to the light (come to the light).
Come to the light (come to the light).
Come to the light.
Come to the light.
