City On A Hill

I am a city on a hill
I am a light in the darkness
Jesus living in me can change the world
I am a city on a hill
I am a light in the darkness
Jesus living in me can change the world

Chorus 1
Let my light shine, let my light shine, let my light shine
Let my light shine, let my light shine, let my light shine
If God is for me, who can stand against me?
Let my light shine, let my light shine, let my light shine
If God is for me, who can stand against me?
Let my light shine, let my light shine, let my light shine

We are a city on a hill
We are a light in the darkness
Jesus living in us can change the world
We are a city on a hill
We are a light in the darkness
Jesus living in us can change the world

Chorus 2
Let your light shine, let your light shine, let your light shine
Let it shine
Let your light shine, let your light shine, let your light shine
If God is for us, who can stand against us?
Let your light shine, let your light shine, let your light shine
If God is for us, who can stand against us?
Let your light shine, let your light shine, let your light shine
