Once we were in darkness we were wand’ring souls
Sailing the stormy seas longing for
A ray of hope to light our pathway
And save us from ourselves and lead us on to life
But then You came
A lowly babe
A beacon from the final shore to lead the way
Oh heaven’s light shining from above
Emmanuel the living God with us
No longer will we fear the deepest darkest night
Now and forever we live in heaven’s light
Since You came our lives have been forever changed
You left heaven’s paradise to know our pain
Oh love divine to meet us where we are
And save us from ourselves and lead us on to life
But then You came
A lowly babe
A beacon from the final shore to lead the way
