Light my heart like a candle
Let it burn for only You
Join my song with the angels
Tell everyone the news
That you came, as a child
Beside us in our struggle
Now we come lifting high
The Name that’s like no other
Jesus, Wonderful Counsellor
Prince of Peace
Son of God
Here with us
We receive our King
Turn my eyes to the wonder
Let me see You as You are
Be my life be my centre
In my night be the brightest star
For You came as a child
Beside us in our struggle
Now we come lifting high
The name that’s like no other
Prepare Him room
Let the light of the world shine through
Prepare Him room
Let the light of the world shine through
