Into darkness Love has come
God in flesh Bright as the sun
Light that conquered sin and death
Wrap us in Your righteousness
All we want is to see your holy face
So all we are is your reflection
You are shining
Your glory fills the heavens
You are the light of the world
You are shining
Your glory fills the heavens
You are the light of the world
Lifted high upon the cross
The only way to save the lost
You brought hope to all mankind
And now forever you will shine
Shine upon us,
Cause your face to shine upon us
