I Would Be a Light for Jesus

Verse 1

I would be a light for Jesus, Shining, shining night and day; Never dim, but ever glowing, With a clear and fadeless ray; In this world by sin beclouded, Which the Man of sorrows trod; I would be a light for Jesus, Leading to the Lamb of God.

Chorus

Shining, shining, Ever shining night and day; I would be a light for Jesus, Shining night and day.

Verse 2

I would be a light for Jesus, Shining brighter every day; Turning back the weary shadows, Driving every care away; I would shine beside the fallen, Showing grace for sin and loss; I would be a light for Jesus, Beaming ‘neath His blessed cross.

Verse 3

I can be a light for Jesus, Where today He places me; Tho’ I may not send the glimmer O’er the distant land and sea; Still, whatever be my mission, I can shine for Him alway; I will be a light for Jesus, Shining, shining night and day.
