Your Light Shall Rise – v2


If we stand and follow
walking with our Savior
leaving our cares
our wants and sorrows
at the altar of the cross

If we remember our clay
how God formed us
remaining salt of the earth
carrying his light ever
out into the world

Your light shall rise
up onto a hill
like a city fortress
a lamp on a lampstand

Shining bright
cutting through the darkness
offering love to all
to the ends of the earth
