IN A DYING HURTING WORLD
There’s a light that shines for all to see
Though the sky may turn to grey
And broken hearts begin to fade away
Your love shines through
Daylight breaks through
The longest of nights
You’re the light that shines in darkness
Shining bright for all the world to see
Yes the world will see
You’re radiant in all Your glory
Nothing is impossible for You
Impossible for You
God of mercy, God of grace
Let justice flow like we have never known
Give us courage give us faith
Faith for miracles we’ve longed to see
The deaf will hear You
The blind will see You
Let the dead man arise!
Would You shine
Would You shine
Ben Cantelon
