In this world of darkness

We are given light

Hope for all the dying

How will they know

That Jesus loves them

And He died to save them

Carry the Light

Go and tell the children

They are precious in His sight

Carry the Light

Go and preach the gospel

'Til there is no more night

In the name of Jesus Christ

Carry the Light

Count them by the millions

Blinded slaves to sin

Inside they are dying

How will they know

That Jesus loves them

And His heart is breaking

Go ye into all the world

And carry the Light the Light

Carry the Light
