Light Shown from Ages Past

Many before us have come to light the way,
So that we are able to do what we do today,
By their light we see more clearly,
And this light we will shine more brightly.

For these are times of great darkness,
And there is a need for righteousness.
This righteousness is not our own,
And this on the cross, Christ has shown.

Let us be the light in this dark world,
Let our banner of truth be unfurled.
For God knew our deepest need,
And He knew how from our sin we could be freed.

For Christ took upon Himself the sins of us all,
And He gave us deliverance from the fall.
For we have fallen far from grace,
But someday we will see Him face to face.
