Let There Be Light             Std. Tuning   capo 5

                  G                               Gmaj7
When the mandolin sang like a bird on the wing
             C
In the hands of Bill Monroe
              G                                    Gmaj7
When Chet played guitar like a walk in the park
             C
Like a prodigal son coming home
            G                             Gmaj7
They spoke into being the work of their hands
                 C
From the void of the wire and the wood
                    G
And they stood on the stage
                   Gmaj7
And they sang and they played
                  C
And they said that it was good

	                      G         Gmaj7
	Let there be light
	                      C
	Let there be love
	                       G                        D
	Let there be light, let there be love
	                       G           Gmaj7    C    D
	Let there be music

              G                               Gmaj7
Now, Aaron's a preacher and I play guitar
          F
And Jim, he can tune up your Ford
  Em
Dave is in law school for 800 years
               F
For the sake of the sick and the poor
          G                                  Gmaj7
The work of our hand is the salt of the earth
          C
The music we make is the light of the world
            Em             G                C           D
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine


	Chorus (last chord of chorus is C this time)

                                   Em   G                C          D
When your spirit is hovering over the deep
            Em                                G                                   A
In the image of God just look into that darkness and speak
                     Am                        D                         G        C    D    G    C
Let there be light, let there be love, let there be music


                  G                               Gmaj7
So let the mandolin play like a mother's embrace
               F
Let the fiddle be warm as a smile
               Em
Let the guitar be bright as a friend at your side
                       F
When you're lost on a long lonely mile
               G                                Gmaj7
Let the music be sweet as the washing of feet
               C
And as gentle as a kiss
              Em                               G
Let the love that we feel be as light as a reel
              C                          D
And as real as the love we give
