Alight for the Lord


Deep shade, bright hope

Breaking through the night

Joy comes in the morning

The unseen becomes sight.


Cold nights, warm truth

Kindled by a holy spark

In the recess of the soul

It illuminates the dark


Chorus

For He has placed in us His light

A radiant beacon in the night

And in its glow we fight the fight

In darkness faith will become sight.


Bridge

In the valley of the shadow

Death boasts boldly of its tomb

But here evil has no power

In Christ’s presence it is doomed


Obscure, we endure

Hear your shepherd’s voice

See in the darkened mirror

And walk as you rejoice


Chorus

For He has placed in us His light

A radiant beacon in the night

And in its glow we fight the fight

In darkness faith will become sight.
