Lyrics
Verse 1
Your eyes they opened and love was spoken
The tears came tumbling down
Verse 2
Your heart was broken, the words were spoken
The tears came tumbling down
Chorus 1
And the blind gained sight as we met our light
Oh the joy and fight, the gift of life
Verse 3
Your hands with creases, Your feet Your breathing
You're mine, You're perfect light
Chorus 2
And the blind gained sight as we met our light
Oh the joy and fight, the gift of life
Bridge
I can't take my eyes off of You, oh my Light
I can't take my eyes off of You
Chorus 3
And the blind gained sight as we met our light
Oh the joy and fight, the gift of life

Meaning & Inspiration
"Light" moves through spare, physical imagery, opened eyes, spoken love, falling tears, before naming a shared moment when "the blind gained sight" as its central turning point. That phrase, echoing accounts of miraculous healing, shifts the song from a private emotional scene toward language associated with divine encounter.
Its third verse lingers on physical detail, hands with creases, feet, breathing, before declaring the one described as "perfect light," a title commonly applied to Christ as the source of sight restored to the blind. That combination of intimate, bodily description alongside a title of divine light gives the song a deliberately close, personal register rather than a distant, formal one.
The bridge simplifies the song's response to a single fixed gaze, unable to look away from the light described. Rooted in contemporary worship's often poetic and understated style, the song functions as a meditation on encountering light that restores sight, using restrained, physical language to describe what the lyrics treat as a moment of significant spiritual consequence.
