Hope of the world
You stepped into our time
And yet they spurned You
And then turned away
To a dying world You reached out
But they didn’t want to hear
The words You had to say
(But) (And) may the light
You came to bring
Now shine in a world
That fin’lly lost its way
Holy love now come
Come flow through me
Be my theme until my dying day
Mercy love truth
You shared all these
And then to bring them life
Became a dying seed
Now to all who will receive
A new way has been opened
And Your children
Are the light they need
