Hope and light (Vol 2 No 64)
The story of Jesus brings light to each one;
Excites and inspires us by what he has done;
In Jesus the battle with darkness is won;
'The Light of the World' can transform everyone.
Hope abounds; light surrounds;
So our life overflows;
Hope abounds; light surrounds
When our love blooms and grows;
The sacred within us compels us to strive;
With Jesus we flourish; in God we’re alive.
When darkness surrounds us we look for the light
That points the way forward and out of the night;
We still have to struggle with all of our might
To stop fears prevailing and put them to flight.
Light empowers; hope is ours
If we give it a chance;
Light empowers; hope is ours
When we join in the dance.
With God as our partner and with a friend’s care
We keep up the rhythm; dispel our despair.
Another beginning; life beckons once more;
And hope still arises; it bids us explore,
With courage and boldness to open each door;
With God as our future we need not withdraw.
Hope ignites; light invites
Us to take the right course;
Hope ignites; light invites
Us to look to its source;
And looking to Jesus, such light fills our soul;
With Jesus we flourish; in God we are whole.
