You are the light of the world
Whoever follows You will not walk in the darkness
But follow You in light of the words that You speak
And the promises You give
Breathing peace, breathing hope into existence
Lord, for Your glory we sing
Your love lightens up the darkness
Shining out with splendour, Lifted up for now and ever
Your name high above all others, Radiant with wonder
Lifted up for now and ever more
You are a lamp to my feet, and a light unto my path
Therefore I shall not stumble
But follow You in light of the words that You speak
And the promises You give
Breathing peace, breathing hope into existence
We’ll never walk in darkness, we’ll never walk in darkness
We’ll never walk in darkness
When we follow You, follow You
Though we fear and tremble
God though we fear and tremble
Though we fear and tremble, You’ll guide us through
Guide us through it all
For Your glory we sing
