[Intro]
[Verse #1]
Longing for light, we wait in darkness.
Longing for truth, we turn to you.
Make us your own, your holy people,
light for the world to see.
[Refrain]
Christ be our light! Shine in our hearts. Shine through the dark--ness.
Christ, be -- our light! Shine in your church gathered today.
[Verse #2]
Longing for peace, our world is troubled.
Longing for hope, many despair.
Your word alone has power to save us.
Make us your living voice.
[Refrain]
Christ be our light! Shine in our hearts. Shine through the dark--ness.
Christ, be -- our light! Shine in your church gathered today.
[Verse #3]
Longing for food, many are hungry.
Longing for water, many still thirst.
Make us your bread, broken for others,
shared until all are fed.
[Refrain]
Christ be our light! Shine in our hearts. Shine through the dark--ness.
Christ, be -- our light! Shine in your church gathered today.
[Verse #4]
Longing for shelter, many are homeless.
Longing for warmth, many are cold.
Make us your building, sheltering others,
walls made of living stone.
[Refrain]
Christ be our light! Shine in our hearts. Shine through the dark--ness.
Christ, be -- our light! Shine in your church gathered today.
[Verse #5]
Many the gifts, many the people,
many the hearts that yearn to belong.
Let us be servants to one another,
making your kingdom come.
[Refrain]
Christ be our light! Shine in our hearts. Shine through the dark--ness.
Christ, be -- our light! Shine in your church gathered today.
