Lyrics

Verse
The sun shall no longer be your light by day
The moon shall no longer be your light at night
But the Lord will be to you
An everlasting Light

Verse
The sun shall no longer set in the west
The moon shall never withdraw itself
But the Lord will be to you
An everlasting Light

Bridge
The days of your mourning
Shall come to an end
In righteousness you will
Inherit the land

Chorus
But the Lord will be to you
An everlasting Light.
But the Lord will be to you
An everlasting Light

About This Song

The lyrics of this song describe the coming of a new era, in which traditional sources of light and guidance (the sun and the moon) will no longer be necessary. Instead, the Lord will provide an “everlasting light” that will guide and illuminate the way forward. The lyrics also speak of a time when sorrow and mourning will come to an end, and righteousness will bring about the inheritance of a new land.

This song is Christian praise and worship song that speaks about the second coming of Jesus Christ. It also tells of the end of the world and the beginning of the new world where there will be no need for the sun or the moon as Jesus will be the everlasting light. The lyrics also mention the time of mourning will come to end and righteousness will inherit the land which could be a reference to the salvation of believers and their entry into the kingdom of heaven.

Overall, it’s a song that speaks of a new era of light and guidance led by the Lord, and a time of righteousness and the end of sorrow.

The lyrics of the song are based on Bible scripture Isaiah 60:19-21. This passage from Isaiah is a prophecy about the future restoration of Israel and the coming of a new era in which the light of God will shine upon the nation, and the glory of the Lord will be its everlasting light. The passage speaks of the Lord being the light for the people, and it also speaks of the end of mourning and the arrival of righteousness. The passage also mentions the end of the sun and the moon as a source of light as the Lord will be the everlasting light. These verses could be interpreted as a metaphor for the spiritual restoration of Israel and the coming of the Messiah.

In this song, the lyrics are taking these verses and applying them to a Christian context, where the Lord is Jesus Christ and the new era is the second coming of Jesus Christ. It is a song of hope and encouragement, reminding believers that even in the darkest of times, the Lord will always be their light, and that ultimately righteousness will triumph over darkness.
