lyrics

A SPARK IN THE DARK (key D)

CHORUS:
I DON`T WANT TO BE A SPARK IN THE DARK
I WANT TO BE A LIGHT THAT SHINES
I DON`T WANT TO BE A DISTANT VOICE
I WANT TO BE HEARD LIKE THUNDER, GOD`S VOICE

I DON`T WANT TO SIT AND WATCH
THE WORLD GO TO HELL
I WANT TO SHOW THEM THE WAY
AND MAKE `EM WELL

I CAN JUST SEE DAVID STANDING ON THE HILL
LOOKING DOWN ON THE WORLD HE KNEW
WHEN FOR THE FIRST TIME HE SAW GOLIATH THERE
SHOUTING AND DEFILING HIS GOD
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO
ABOUT THIS MAN WHOSE SO RUDE??

ISRAEL SAID WE DON`T HAVE A CHAMPION SO STRONG
TO GO OUT AGAINST THIS PHILISTINE
DAVID SAID HE WOULD GO, FOR THIS ONE THING HE KNEW
GOD WAS ON HIS SIDE
SO ARMED WITH A SLING AND SOME STONE
HE WENT OUT AND FACED HIM ALONE --- AND HE SAID

I DON`T TO BE A SPARK IN THE DARK
I WANT TO BE A LIGHT THAT SHINES - X 4

THEN THERE WAS GIDEON THRESHING WHEAT
IN THE WINE PRESS
WHEN THE ANGEL OF THE LORD APPEARED TO HIM
THE LORD IS WITH YOU OH MIGHTY WARRIOR
BUT GIDEON SAID HOW CAN THAT BE
THE PEOPLE ARE OPPRESSED AND DISMAYED
FOR THE MIDINIATES HAVE MADE US THEIR SLAVES

THE ANGEL OF THE LORD SAID UNTO HIM
GO IN STRENGTH I AM SENDING YOU
SO WITH 300 MEN HE SURROUNDED THE CAMP
AND SAID TO THEM DO AS I DO
WHEN I BLOW THE TRUMPET AND SHOUT
BREAK THE JARS AND LET YOUR LIGHT OUT

FOR HE SAID

CHORUS X 2
