1. Through the darkness I can see worlds stretching out before me,
No end in sight, a never ending dream.
This world, I thought, was so unique, one of many seen;
I feel so small, the darkness all I see.
Chorus
2. Now is my time on earth, my test of faith, my mortal birth,
Opportunity again to prove my worth.
If my eyes could clear, I’d see that life will stretch eternally;
I’m one of many sands upon the sea.
Chorus
3. Worlds created one by one, a sacrifice, His precious Son;
Christ was sent to earth, the chosen path begun.
We need only work and watch and pray, He showed the path, the way,
His plan unfolding, growing day by day.
Chorus
Chorus
He is our guide, eternal, shining light.
He is our friend,
He’ll guide us to the end.
He is our faith,
He died so we may live with Him someday.
He taught us how to serve, to pray;
He is the light, the way,
He is our faith,
He died so we may live with Him someday.
He taught us how to serve, to pray.
He is the light, the way.
