Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. Darkness covered the earth. People were looking for truth, But it was taken away so long ago. God was preparing their hearts So He could light up the dark, ’Cause it was time for a new beginning. There was a boy who needed answers, One that was chosen by God, So, he went and found a place to pray.
And when he prayed, A pillar of light rested on him. The windows of heaven were opened again. They called him by name. Chosen by God, he was part of a bigger plan. It all began with a pillar of light.
2. Shining bright as the sun, Heavenly rays of love Started drowning out the darkness. And everything that was lost Was given back to us In a spiritual restoration. God showed us we were not forgotten, And He provided a way. All because a boy knelt to pray.
And when he prayed, A pillar of light rested on him. The windows of heaven were opened again. They called him by name. Chosen by God, he was part of a bigger plan. It all began with a pillar of light.
God the Father and the Son appeared To place a little piece of heaven here. They showed their perfect love for us With a pillar of light. A pillar of light.
A pillar of light rested on him. The windows of heaven were opened again. They called him by name. Chosen by God, he was part of a bigger plan. It all began with a pillar of light. A pillar of light.
