Come Be Our Light

Lyrics

I
We are lost in the night,
searching, longing for day.
Weary, broken by sin,
we seek your face,
yearn to be saved.

II
You are Savior of All,
Son of God the Most High.
You alone bring us hope,
healing and strength, mercy and light.

REFRAIN
Come, Lord Jesus Christ.
Be with us now. Come and renew us.
Come, oh, Prince of Peace.
Dwell in our hearts. Come, be our way, our truth, and life.
Conquer the night.
Come, be our light, Emmanuel.

III
Save us, Emmanuel
Be our God with us now
Grant us goodness and grace,
justice and peace, fullness of life. (REFRAIN 2x)

OUTRO
Be with us now.
Dwell in our hearts.
Conquer the night.
Come, be our light.

We were promised a Savior, but we never dreamed that God himself would come to save us. We knew that He loved us, but we never dared to think that He loved us so much as to become like us. But that is the way God gives. His gifts are never quite what we expect but always something better, something far better than we hope for. We can only dream of things too good to be true; God has a habit of giving things too good to be false. - From Horacio de la Costa, SJ'’s "“Too Good to Be False”"
