Bearers of the Light

The light we must bear is the light we must share
Is the light that illumines the darkness
The promises kept, give us strength to accept
This burden of bearing the light

He will walk beside us, a strong friend, Barnabas
He will be that sure shoulder to lean on
The promise we share is our burden to bear
And our light tells the darkness to be gone

The light we must bear is the light we must share
Is the light that illumines the darkness
The promises kept, give us strength to accept
This burden of bearing the light

He will come after me, this young Timothy
Looking for someone to guide him
I will kindle his light, make him strong for the fight
I will promise to be there beside him

The light we must bear is the light we must share
Is the light that illumines the darkness
The promises kept, give us strength to accept
This burden of bearing the light

And so we must claim in His powerful Name
The promise the Bible has spoken
We must understand that a cord of three strands
Cannot be easily broken

The great need of a Saul, a true mentor, a Paul
Who has travelled the road that's before us
He has made good the pledge to take the light on ahead
We can follow his footsteps before us

The light we must bear is the light we must share (light we must bear)
Is the light that illumines the darkness
The promises kept, give us strength to accept
This burden of bearing the light (bearing the light)

The promises kept, give us strength to accept
This burden of bearing the light (bearing the light)
This burden of bearing the light
