You have called us out of darkness
Out of darkness into Your marvellous light
You have saved us from the darkness
We rejoice in Your power and might
(Repeat)
We are a chosen race
A royal priesthood
By Your grace we are a holy nation
Set apart for You
(Repeat chorus twice)
We are to take Your light
To every nation, tongue and tribe
So they may see Your glory
Shining through our lives
(Repeat chorus twice)
We rejoice in Your power and might
