Who would have thought that one bright star
Over tiny Bethlehem would bring the light
That shines around the world
And the light from that first holy night
Still warms the heart today as we celebrate
We join our hearts and say

Oh, light, oh, light of the world
We worship you
Oh, light, oh, light of the world
We honor you as we journey through
This cold dark world we will carry you
To light up the world
With the light of the world
Like a candle in the darkness
The light dispels the fear
Of what is waiting in the dark unknown
As you shine your light around us
By faith our hearts can see the road we walk
Will one day lead us home

Oh, light, oh, light of the world
We worship you
Oh, light, oh, light of the world
We honor you as we journey through
This cold dark world we will carry you
To light up the world
With the light of the world

Shine your light in the places
That no one else can see
Holy light of the ages
Shine your light through me

Oh, light, oh, light of the world
We worship you
Oh, light, oh, light of the world
We honor you as we journey through
This cold dark world we will carry you
To light up the world
With the light of the world
As we journey through this cold dark world
We will carry you to light up the world
With the light of the world
