Light Down in the Delta Nigh (Gospel-Blues & Chor)
Frost was on the morning river,
mist was rising like a hymn.
I walked the Delta shoreline
with a candle burning dim.
The world felt tired and waiting,
like a prayer without a sound—
but then I felt a gentle shining
as the first light touched the ground.
Lead: Light down in the Delta night!
Choir: Shine your mercy, warm and bright!
Lead: Lift us up in hope and healing—
Choir: Guide us through the winter’s night!
Lead: Light down in the Delta night—
Choir: Let your love be our delight!
Lead + Choir: On this blessed hopeful Sunday,
let the darkness turn to light.
I heard a choir in the distance,
voices rising soft and clear.
They sang of peace and promise—
of an angel drawing near.
The pines began to shimmer,
like the stars had come to stay,
and every heart around me
found a brighter, kinder way.
Lead: Oh, can you feel that holy wonder?
Choir: Feel it warm like candle flame!
Lead: Can you hear the hope of Advent?
Choir: Calling every soul by name!
Lead: Oh Lord, we come together—
Choir: Waiting for Your guiding light!
Lead: Let the river sing redemption—
Choir: Shine Your love into the night!
Lead: Light down in the Delta night!
Choir: Shine your mercy, warm and bright!
Lead: Lift us up in hope and healing—
Choir: Guide us through the winter’s night!
Lead: Light down in the Delta night—
Choir: Let your love be our delight!
Lead + Choir: On this blessed hopeful Sunday,
let the darkness turn to light.
Choir: Shine… shine… shine your holy light…
Lead (soft): On the Delta night of Advent,
let our hearts burn warm and bright.
