The dawn of peace Christmas Eve, the final night the world would sleep,
|
Fearful of the dark, but there was a shining star leading
|
Wise men to a humble place, where they would find the Gift of Grace,
|
Laying before their eyes, hope had come to life.
|
The Light of the world was shining; |
the Light of the world was shining,
|
He came just like He promised; |
His love would not be silent.
|
Hearts would quake on Christmas Day, as they looked upon the Savior’s face,
|
God became a man; |
they could reach and touch His hands.
|
The hands that made the blind to see, that carried the weight of suffering,
|
That washed away our sins, so we could be born again.
|
The Light of the world is shining; |
the Light of the world is shining,
|
He came just like He promised; |
His love will not be silent
|
The Light of the world is shining, from heaven to earth He’s shining,
|
He came just like He promised; |
His love will not be silent,
|
The world knows Christ is born, oh; |
the King of love has come,
|
And our hearts will be His throne, it is known, Christ is born.
|
Light of the world, leading us home, Shepherd of Hearts, come for His own,
|
The Light of the world is shining; |
the Light of the world is shining,
|
He came just like He promised; |
His love will not be silent
|
The Light of the world is shining, from heaven to earth He’s shining,
|
He came just like He promised; |
His love will not be silent,
|
He’s shining. |
