Little momma’s coming home, she lost herself a job

The children ask what’s for dinner and she begins to sob

The children are crying now and stroking momma’s hair

The youngest one takes her hand and whispers in her ear

Don’t let the light go out, don’t let the light go out

Please momma, don’t you cry

The sun will rise in the morning sky

Don’t let the light go out

Little daddy fears the worst, whatever will he do

Momma says she sorry, and the kids say they are too

He hugs them all and holds them tight, he feels their heartfelt love

The middle child begins to sing, like an angel from above

Don’t let the light go out, don’t let the light go out

Please daddy, don’t you cry

The sun will rise in the morning sky

Don’t let the light go out

Little family’s all alone in a world that isn’t kind

Don’t know where to turn; they feel a little bit blind

Friends may call but they can’t know the anger and the fear

The oldest son speaks his mind for everyone to hear

Don’t let the light go out, don’t let the light go out

Please my family don’t you cry

The sun will rise in the morning sky

Don’t let the light go out

Jesus looks down from heaven and hears the children’s pleas

Compassion, love and tenderness he sends to give them ease

Please Lord take care of them, they don’t know what to say

He says, be strong my lambs, and He begins to pray

I am the light, I will never go out

Please my children don’t you cry

I will hold you in my arms tonight

And tomorrow the sun will rise, my

Precious children in my Father’s eyes

I am the light, I won’t go out

Another dawn begins to rise in the cool, crisp morning air

The family wakes to feel the warmth of God’s loving care

Another night has passed away, another night full of doubt

But the family trusts the Lord, that His light will never go out

Never go out.
