Story Behind The Song
This is the first song that God inspired me to write and sing back in the autumn of 1972 in Belfast. It was written during some of the very dark days of "the troubles". It is still as relevant in our world today.

Lyrics
1.
Darkness on the face of the earth; (x 2)
But His light is stronger than all the darkness on the earth;
Let His light shine brightly through all the darkness on the earth;
Let it shine out, let it shine out,
Let it shine out through your life.
2.
Suffering on the face of the earth; (x 2)
But His love is greater than all the suffering on the earth;
Let His love flow warmly through all the suffering on the earth;
Let it flow out, let it flow out,
Let it flow out through your life.
3.
Death stands on the face of the earth; (x 2)
But His life is mightier than all the death that's on the earth
And His life has conquered all the death that's on the earth;
Let Him live out, let Him live out,
Let Him live out through your life.
