Jesus Is the Light of the World
===============================
w&m: Charlie Daniels, 1990

[Verse 1]
On a clear night many, many years ago,
Two weary strangers, moving slow,
Were looking for a place to stay.
But there was no place, though they traveled many miles.
So Mary, being great with child,
Lay down on the sweet-smelling hay.

And then a bright light fell from heaven
As a special star shone bright;
And three wise men from a foreign land
Came to worship Him that night.

And in the clear night you can hear the angels sing
Praises to the newborn King.
Jesus is the Light of the World.

[Verse 2]
And the angels heralding the holy birth
Were singing, "Peace to men on earth;
Unto you is born a son."
And the shepherds, though they had their flocks to tend,
Journeyed into Bethlehem
To behold the Holy One.

And then the boy grew up to be a man,
Come to set the captives free,
Come to heal the sick and raise the dead,
And to cause the blind to see.

And the best part is, even though He's gone away,
He'll be coming back some day.
Jesus is the Light of the World.

[Coda] (key change)
And the best part is, even though He's gone away,
He'll be coming back some day.
Jesus is the Light of the World.

Jesus is the Light of the World.
Jesus is the Light of the World.
