Lyrics

Be the Light
©2020 Barbara T Webber

In the time of the long darkness
Souls tired yet waiting
Came the promised sapling from the stump of Jesse’s Tree
On the deepest night of the year
God parted the Heavens
Angels sang and danced in praise the arrival of God’s son

He will be the light of HOPE
He will be the light of LOVE
He will be the light of JOY
He will be the light of PEACE

Sent to walk among the poor
Born in a barn
Swaddled and protected by dreams and loving arms
Healing, teaching, changing hearts
On the way to Calvary
Share this bread and cup of wine in remembrance of me

You will be the light of HOPE
You will be the light of LOVE
You will be the light of JOY
You will be the light of PEACE

And when the nights extend
We remember when
Darkness ruled the earth
And lost to Light with His birth
Now I bow to the Christ within
Raise my hand to follow him

I will be the light of HOPE
I will be the light of LOVE
I will be the light of JOY
I will be the light of PEACE

We will be the light of HOPE
We will be the light of LOVE
We will be the light of JOY
We will be the light of PEACE
