lyrics

Shining down from the Father of Lights, every good thing in my life,
Raining down from the Father of Lights
they come down from the Father of Lights.
One bright star burns away my darkness,
One true hope gives me strength to stand,
And my soul has found a resting place in the hollow of God's hand,
Every river I could not cross,
Every dream that the wind has tossed,
Sting of failure, the pain of loss - they all just fade away,
And love comes down.
Shining down from the Father of Lights, every good thing in my life, There's no doubt about it I can see,
Raining down from the Father of Lights, through the sacred sacrifice,
Now He pours His blessings down on me, down on me,
They come down from the Father of Lights.
I have learned to embrace the laughter, to see the beauty in simple things, And my heart has found the freedom a childlike faith can bring,
Faith in more than I see or feel,
Faith in something that's much more real,
The one thing even death can't steal - it never fades away.
And love comes down.
Shining down from the Father of Lights, every good thing in my life, There's no doubt about it I can see,
Raining down from the Father of Lights, through the sacred sacrifice,
Now He pours His blessings down on me, down on me,
They come down from the Father of Lights.
Down from the Father,
They come down from the Father, Down from the Father of Lights.
This pearl, beyond all price, is worth every sacrifice,
Give my soul, and not think twice,
It never fades away,
Love, not fade away,
And it all comes down.
Shining down from the Father of Lights, every good thing in my life,
Raining down from the Father of Lights,
They come down from the Father... down from the Father of Lights,
Shining down from the Father of Lights, through the sacred sacrifice,
Raining down from the Father of Lights,
They come down from the Father... down from the Father...
down from the Father of Lights.

Getting Closer (1985/2020 Remaster)
by Phil Keaggy - Deluxe Studio vocal albums

Another classic Phil Keaggy album where it’s hard to pick just one favorite song. Too many good ones. Sounds, Movie, and Riverton are the backbone however and are must hears. Craig Opal

The Wind And The Wheat (Remastered)
by Phil Keaggy - Studio Instrumentals

supported by 9 fans who also own “Father Of Lights”

I’ve been following Phil since the 70s. I forgot how beautiful this album is. I just rediscovered it by becoming a subscriber. Best decision I’ve ever made. Now I get to listen and revisit many of the concerts I attended and those I couldn’t make for the first time. Also I had many albums on vinyl and cassette that were lost etc. One of the things I love about Phil, is how every time he does a song live, it’s different than his other versions. He keeps things fresh and exciting by doing this. Craig Opal

Find Me In These Fields [remastered & re-imagined]
by Phil Keaggy - Deluxe Studio vocal albums

supported by 9 fans who also own “Father Of Lights”

"Find Me in These Fields" was one of Phil's releases where I sensed he was free to be himself, and that came on strong in every tune. As a guitar player I was inspired, and as a father with a young son "Gentle & Strong" tugged every heart string. Jon Stout
