In the Face of Christ

[2nd Cor.4:4-(5)-14;Gen.1:3,4;]

Let there be light,
And there was the light.
The voice of God spake it to be.
And God saw the light,
The light that was good.
The Light of the world has spoken to me.

(Chorus 1)
The Light of the gospel of Christ,
Has shown in my heart,
And the darkness can do nothing but flee.
Let there be light!

We preach not ourselves,
But Christ Jesus the Lord,
And you we serve for Jesus sake.
The image of God shall shine unto you,
That you might be made to partake.

(Chorus)

This Treasure we have, and not of ourselves.
The excellence of power of our God.
In our mortal flesh, this body he gave,
With peace our feet He now hath shod.

(Chorus)

Know of His Light, the glory of God,
In the face of Jesus Christ.
Dying with Him, we'll rise from the grave,
And face to face our faith will be sight.

(Final Chorus)
The glorious gospel of Christ,
Has shown in my heart,
And the darkness can do nothing but flee.
Let there be light! Let there be light!
Let there be light!
