How To Play Light Will Shine

As the world gets crazier, I find myself drawn to the light more and more. Stay in His word and have His peace that passes all understanding. Jesus is our hope.

Here's a song that was written in 2010. It's easy to play knowing these chords in the key of A:

A F#m, D, Bm, E.
