Andrew Peterson – Let There Be Light (Guitar)

            C
When the mandolin sang like a bird on the wing

         C             F
In the hands of Bill Monroe

      C
When Chet played guitar like a walk in the park

         C                  F
Like a prodigal son coming home

       C
They spoke into being the work of their hands

          F
From the void of the wire and the wood

           C
And they stood on the stage

          C
And they sang and they played

           F               G
And they said that it was good

               C
Let there be light

               F
Let there be love

               C                  G
Let there be light, let there be love

              C    Em F G
Let there be music

       C
Now, Arron's a preacher and I play guitar

     A#
And Jim, he can tune up your Ford

 C
Dave is in law school for 800 years

         A#
For the sake of the sick and the poor

      C
The work of our hands is the salt of the earth

     F
The music we make is the light of the world

         Am            C             F    G
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine

                        C
And say, let there be light

               F
Let there be love

               C                   G
Let there be light, let there be love

              C    Em F G
Let there be music

                       Am   C          F   G
When your spirit is hovering over the deep

        Am                     C                       D
In the image of God just look into that darkness and speak

              Dm                  G                   C   F G C F
Let there be light, let there be love, let there be music

              C
So let the mandolin play like a mother's embrace

         A#
Let the fiddle be warm as a smile

          C
Let the guitar be bright as a friend at your side

             A#
When you're lost on a long lonely mile

          C
Let the music be sweet as the washing of feet

         F
And as gentle as a kiss

         Am                       C
Let the love that we feel be as light as a reel

        F                   G
And as real as the love we give

                  C
So let there be light

               F
Let there be love

               C                  G
Let there be light, let there be love

              F
Let there be music

                      C
And say, let there be light

               F
Let there be love

               C                  G
Let there be light, let there be love

               C    F
Let there be music
