Light Of The World

(album: Have You Heard - 1977)

Hold your head up, Mary, it's a dusty road
And you know that the wind's blowing wild
But there's a Light in the darkness
And there's not far to go
And the morning will bring us a child
And the sky's gonna open for Him
Yes, and all, all of nature will sing
Singing...

You are the Light
The Light of the world
You are the Light
The Light of the world

Yes, and we'll watch Him growing
With love in our eyes
And also a color of crying
Ah, yes, we know, Mary, one day
He'll be saying goodbye
To take Life to a world that is dying
Yeah, but on, on the shores of a sea
Are the words of a Savior to be

You are the Light
The Light of the world
You are the Light
The Light of the world

So the change comes quickly
Time's flying fast
People in power turn betrayers
Ah, the cruel and the evil living side by side
While the gentle and loving they murder
But for all where the cross has once stood
Are these words carved on the wood
Saying...

You are the Light
The Light of the world
You are the Light
The Light of the world

You are the Light
Yeah, the Light of the world
Singing, You are the Light
Yeah, the Light of the world...
