Full Lyrics
[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 darkness.
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 pow'r to save us.
Make us your living voice.
[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.
[VERSE 4]
Longing for shelter, many are homeless.
Longing for warmth, many are cold.
Make us your building, shelter for others,
walls made of living stone.
[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.
[ALLELUIA]
Alleluia alleluia
Alleluia, Alleluia
Alleluia alleluia,
alleluia Alleluia
[OPTIONAL ENDING]
