Whenever God shines his light

This is a great song by one of my favourite singer / songwriters called Van Morrison. Here, Van is singing with a friend (Cliff Richard) about the Christian faith. The song's lyrics express Christians' complete trust in and love of God. For Christians, God is their saviour, and they can reach out to God at any time and be filled with love and wellbeing.

This is an incredibly uplifting song, especially for Christians, because it affirms that if they are ever feeling sad or lost (the darkest night) God will comfort them. If they are confused, or lonely, then they just need to reach out to God and they will be healed.
