He's the light He's the light of the world He's the light He's the light of the world Blessed are the poor in spirit And those who mourn And those who are weary and burdened I will never scorn Blessed are the merciful And the pure of heart The peacemakers and the persecuted Who light the dark? He's the light He's the light of the world For God so loved the world He's the light He's the light of the world And we must believe in him If you seek the kingdom of heaven You must be born again And when you pray, pray alone You're heard from the heavenly throne And don't lay up treasures For what can you make and that you know Goodness and love are all you can take Be like the lillies of the field you see Your clothes tomorrow will be free To knock on the door of your Father's throne Your heavenly home He's the light He's the light of the world For God so loved the world He's the light He's the light of the world And we must believe in him
