Jesus is my light in this dark world,
He lights the way on His holy path;
He leads me and guides me each day,
He saves me from God's wrath.
We fight a great battle in this life,
For the world is full of darkness and sin;
But my Jesus is my strength and shield,
And the battle of life He will help me win.
Jesus is my calming strength,
When life is sad and my heart breaks;
Jesus' love soothes my aching soul,
When I don't understand why from life He takes.
Jesus gives me hope when I am down,
In my future home peace and love are found;
No more tears of pain will I shed,
The singing of angels will be a beautiful sound.
In my new home I will see my loved ones,
I'll be granted my wish for my light I will see;
I will sit at His feet and sing praises to Him,
I will continually praise Him for His love for me.
