| 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. |
