GOD IS THE LIGHT
How great the wonder of the heaven
And the timeless beauty of the night
How great, then how great
The Creator
And its stars like priceless jewels
Far beyond the reach of kings
Bow down, for the shepherd
Guiding him home
But how many eyes are closed
To the wonder of this night
Like pearls hidden deep
Beneath the dark stream of desires
But like dreams vanished with the call to prayer
And the dawn extinguishes night
Here too are signs
God is the Light, God is the Light
How great the beauty of the earth
And the creatures who dwell on her
How great, then how great
The Creator
As its mountains pierce the clouds
High above the lives of man
Weeping rivers
For thousands of years
But how may hearts are closed
To the wonders of this sight
Like birds in a cage
Asleep with closed wings
But like works stops with the call to prayer
And the birds recite
Here too are signs
God is the Light, God is the Light
How great the works of man
And the things he makes
How great, then how great
The Creator
Though he strives to reach the heavens
He can barely survive
The wars of the world
He lives in
Yet how many times he’s tried
Himself to immortalise
Like his parents before him
In the garden of Eden
But like the sun sets with the call to prayer
And surrenders to the night
Here to are signs
God is the Light Everlasting
God is the Light Everlasting
God is the Light Everlasting
“Sementara menunggu ‘datangnya’ ilham untuk menulis dan terus menulis tanpa henti. Ku hadiahkan bait-bait lagu ini buat renungan dan muhasabah diri yang hina, yang alpa, yang buta… yang seegala-segalanya …
Lelah rasanya menanggung ‘kegersangan’ idea untuk menulis.
Adakah ini hakikat manusia atau aku sendiri yang sepertinya mulai ‘kehilangan’ mood untuk menulis. Noo… maybe sebab nak submit proposal Topical Study, tu yang jadi macam tak stabil… 2,3 hari ni.
Ya ALLAH, jadikanlah ilmu-ilmu yang aku pelajari selama ini ‘pembersih’ kepada HATIKU yang penuh dengan karat-karat dosa… Aku amat merintih kepada MU…Ya RABB.
