Christ Be Our Light Longing for light, we wait in darkness. Longing for truth, we turn to you. Make us your own, your holy people, Light for the world to see.

Christ be our light, Shine in our hearts, shine through the darkness Christ be our light, Shine in our hearts, shine through the darkness. Christ be our light, shine in our church gathered today.

Longing for food, many are hungry, Longing for water, many still thirst. Make us your bread, broken for others, Shared until all are fed. Chorus

Longing for shelter, many are homeless. Longing for warmth, many are cold. Make us your building, sheltering others, Walls made of living stone. Chorus

Many the gifts, many the people, Many the hearts that yearn to belong. Let us be servants to one another, Making your kingdom come. Chorus
