When All The Light Has Gone

By Troy

Ps. 38:10 even the light has gone from my eyes.

VERSE1: When all the light has gone
(eccl 5:17, 6:4 Eccl. 11:7 Light is sweet, and it pleases the eyes to see the sun)
You find your life is running on empty
(:8 However many years a man may live, let him enjoy them all.)
When arrogance has fled
(But let him remember the days of darkness, for they will be many. )
and left you lying naked and lonely
(Everything to come is meaningless. 12:2,3)

When friends are far away
(Eccl 4:8 There was a man all alone)
And fleeting pleasure gives birth to pain
(Eccl. 2:10 I denied myself nothing my eyes desired; I refused my heart no pleasure. 6:9, 7:4, 26; 12:1)
When love will not be made
(12:5 desire is no longer stirred)
Emptiness is all -all that remains
When the the light has gone

Come To Me
When All The Light has Gone
Come to me
(Eccl. 2:25 ...without [God], who can eat or find enjoyment? )

VERSE2: When all the light has gone
Vainly you seek solace in dreaming
(Eccl. 2:23 even at night his mind does not rest. 5:12, 8:16)
When sorrow is your song
Where will you find strength for the singing
(Eccl. 12:4 all their songs grow faint; )

When knowledge drives you mad
(12:11 Of the making of many books there is no end, and much study wearies the body; 7:23,24; 8:17, )
Guilt has grown too heavy to bear
(Ps. 38:4 My guilt has overwhelmed me like a burden too heavy to bear.)
You survey all you have
(5:10-16, 6:2; ?)
Wealth hangs like a cross you can't share
When the light has gone
Come to me When All The Light has Gone Come to me

VERSE 3:When all the light is gone
Feel the darkness under your skin
(Exod. 10:21 "Stretch out your hand toward the sky so that darkness will spread over Egypt -darkness that can be felt." )
All that you've achieved
(eccl 2:11)
Meaningless- chasing the wind
(eccl 2:11)
'Til the light has gone

There is a time For everything
That we can dream beneath the sky
A time to build and to break
Time to be born and time to die

A time to kill a time to heal
A time to weep, a time to laugh
A time to gain(search)/ a time to lose (give up)
Time to mourn a time to dance

A time to keep and throw away
time for silence time to speak
Time to love a time to hate
A time for war a time for peace

And all this time from dust to dust
(12:7)
The light is slowly growing dim
And when you find it's meaningless
Come to me
When all the light has gone

SPANISH:
Cuando (un día) se va la luz
Tu vida se va acortando (vacia)
(tu arrogancia sea ido) tu lujo destruido
te ves desnudo, solo
amigos ya no están
tu placer ha cambiado en dolor
y tu amor no será
oscuro y ciego serás
cuando se va tu luz

Ven a mi
cuando se va tu luz
Ven a mí

Cuando se va la luz
en vanidad tratás de soñar
la tristeza es tu cancion
como ayar fuerza para cantar
la enseñanza te abuerto loco
la culpa tan pesada para levantar
ves todas tus riquesas
como una cruz no la puedes compartir
cuando se va la luz

Cuando se va la luz
sientes la oscuridad debajo (sobre) tu piel
lo que has realizado
es vanidad
trabajar al viento
hasta al fin de la luz

Hay sazón
para todas las cosas
lo que se adquiere debajo del sol
tiempo de destruir, y de construír
de nacer, y de morir;

Tiempo de matar, y de curar;
de llorar, y de reir
de ganar, y de perder;
de endechar, y de bailar;

tiempo de guardar, y arrojar;
de callar, y de hablar;
de amar, y aborrecer;
de guerra, y de (la) paz.

y todo este tiempo
del polvo a polvo
tu luz se esta apagando
cuando sepas
que todo es vanidad
ven a mi
cuando se va la luz
