The Light of the World Made history begin, Spoke time into being, Caused planets to spin; Flung galaxies wide Through infinite space To sing of His splendour And fathomless grace. Come, come, Daughters and sons, Look to the Light of the World. Sing, sing Praises to Him. Simply believe, You will receive Mercy and love without measure. The Light of the World Now shone as a man, And walked through the valleys He'd carved with His hands. A servant to those He'd breathed into life, He felt our injustice And shared in our strife. The Light of the World Preached justice for all, Defying the proud And defending the poor; Then humbled Himself To d**h on a cross, To crush the oppressor And rescue the lost. The Light of the World Still shines on the earth, With gifts of forgiveness, The hope of new birth. So open your heart, Don't hide in the night; Step out of the darkness And into His light.
