Verse 1
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. 
 
Chorus
Christ, be our light! 
Shine in our hearts. 
Shine through the darkness. 
Christ, be our light! 
Shine in your church gathered today. 
 
Verse 2
Longing for peace, our world is troubled. 
Longing for hope, many despair. 
Your word alone has power to save us. 
Make us your living voice. 
 
Chorus
Christ, be our light! 
Shine in our hearts. 
Shine through the darkness. 
Christ, be our light! 
Shine in your church gathered today. 
 
Verse 3
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
Christ, be our light! 
Shine in our hearts. 
Shine through the darkness. 
Christ, be our light! 
Shine in your church gathered today. 
 
Verse 4
Longing for shelter, many are homeless. 
Longing for warmth, many are cold. 
Make us your building, sheltering others, 
walls made of living stone. 
 
Chorus
Christ, be our light! 
Shine in our hearts. 
Shine through the darkness. 
Christ, be our light! 
Shine in your church gathered today. 
 
Verse 5
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
Christ, be our light! 
Shine in our hearts. 
Shine through the darkness. 
Christ, be our light! 
Shine in your church gathered today.
