Light of the World

all creation holds its breath, on this silent night of nights,

yearning for deliverance, groaning like a woman giving birth,

patiently waiting for the moment to begin,

salvation from the cries of an infant;

redemption through the sacrifice of a King;

Hope of hope, Savior of the lost,

Light of the world, what gift can be laid at Your feet?

what price can be paid to satisfy the cost?

the angels do sing Your praise,

all in heaven and on earth bow

before Your glorious throne,

the blessed Lamb of God,

the righteous Judge of judges,

the mighty King of kings,

the holy Son of God;

Hope of hope, Savior of the lost,

Light of the world, what gift can be laid at Your feet?

what price can be paid to satisfy the cost?

look down on us now,

see the ignorance of our ways,

forgive the arrogance of our hardened hearts,

heal the damage we have done;

make us more than we are;

Hope of hope, Savior of the lost,

Light of the world, what gift can be laid at Your feet?

what price can be paid to satisfy the cost?
