Light Of The World

Hold your head up, Mary, it's a dusty road

And you know that the wind's blowin' wild

But there's a Light in the darkness

And there's not far to go

And the mornin' will bring us a child

And the sky's gonna open for Him

Yes, and all, all of nature will sing

Singin'...

You are the Light

The Light of the world

You are the Light

The Light of the world

Yes, and we'll watch Him growin'

With love in our eyes

And also a color of cryin'

Ah, yes, we know, Mary, one day

He'll be sayin' goodbye

To take Life to a world that is dyin'

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 flyin' fast

People in power turn betrayers

Ah, the cruel and the evil livin' side by side

While the gentle and lovin' they murder

But for all where the cross has once stood

Are these words carved on the wood

Sayin'...

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

Singin', You are the Light

Yeah, the Light of the world...
