We climbed the mountain
With nothing but our prayers
The sky was dark and silent
But the path was rumored there
In the darkness we felt alone
But they say we shone like gold
(Cause we were walkin’)
In the light of his glory
We’re gonna shine
I’ll trust in you forever
That the last will be number one
I’m gonna try to be ready
Not knowing when the hour will come
So in your arms I put my faith
The truth burnin’ like the sun
(I’ll be waitin’ )
In the light of his glory
We’re gonna shine
His light shines for the duration
Cause my god, he take no vacation
You know he made all creation
For his faithful nation
There are doors that you open
And the spirit pulls your through
And doors that close forever
If war and hate is what you choose
Keep peace in your heart always
And the light will shine for everyone
(No more fightin’)
In the light of his glory
We’re gonna shine
About the Song
The band was just having fun with the melody and the repetition of the chorus and it seemed to evolve with a reggae or calypso feel.
Emile sings lead. Ernie turns in an inspired steel drum performance on the keyboard. Norm nails the guitar part.
