(chorus)
the light we must bear is
the light we must share
is the light that
illumines the darkness
the promise is kept give
us strength to accept
this burden of sharing the
light
you will walk beside us a
strong friend Barnabas
you will be that sure
shoulder to lean on
and our light tells the
darkness to be gone
chorus
you will come after me
this young Timothy
looking for someone to
guide him
i will kindle his light,
make him strong for the
fight
i will promise to be there
beside him
chorus
and so we must claim in
His powerful name
the promise the bible has
spoken
we must understand that a
cord of three strands
cannot be easily broken
a great lead of us all a
true mentor a Paul
who has travelled this
road on before us
he will make good the
pledge to take the light
on ahead
we can follow his
footsteps before us
chorus
the promise is kept give
us strength to accept
this burden of sharing the
light
