Jesus is the light, the way,
We are walking in the light,
We are walking in the light;
Shining brighter day by day,
We are walking in the beautiful light of God.
Refrain
We are walking in the light,
We are walking in the light,
We are walking in the light,
We are walking in the beautiful light of God.
We who know our sins forgiv’n,
We are walking in the light,
We are walking in the light;
Find on earth the joy of Heav’n,
We are walking in the beautiful light of God.
Refrain
As we journey here below,
We are walking in the light,
We are walking in the light;
O what joy and peace we know,
We are walking in the beautiful light of God.
Refrain
We will sing His power to save,
We are walking in the light,
We are walking in the light;
We will triumph o’er the grave,
We are walking in the beautiful light of God.
