If We Are The Light - If We Are The Light lyrics

God said they would know us By the love we would show one to another We must show compa**ion Loving others as ourselves Desperation surrounds us And we choose to pa** right by Yet we say it astounds us When the needy question why God said that a city on a hill Cannot hide the light that is shining We must be examples So the truth could be revealed There are so many reasons People work in the name of the Lord Yet there's spiritual treason When His mercy is ignored If we are the light Then why is the world so dark If we are the light Then why, oh, why Oh, why does the world keep falling apart If we are the light Then why is the world so dark, oh... God said He would judge us By the love we display one to another We prove that we love Him When we help the least of these There are lives in the balance How can we ignore their cry We have so many talents There can be no alibi If we are the light Then why is the world so dark If we are the light Then why, oh, why Oh, why does the world keep falling apart If we are the light Then why is the world so dark If we are the light Then why, oh, why Oh, why does the world keep falling apart Oh-whoa-whoa... There are lives in the balance How can we ignore their cry God gave so many talents There can be no alibi If we are the light Then why is the world so dark, oh... Tell me, if we are the light Then why is the world so dark If we are the light (Why is the world so dark)
