We are singing, for the Lord is our light,
we are singing, for the Lord is our light.
We are singing, for the Lord is our light,
we are singing, for the Lord is our light.
We are singing, Oh, we are singing,
for the Lord is our light,
We are singing, Oh, we are singing,
for the Lord is our light.
1 The Lord is the strength of our lives;
Of whom shall we be afraid?
Though foes may be near to destroy;
The Lord will be our light. [Refrain]
2 One thing have we asked of the Lord,
Yes, this is the thing we seek:
To dwell in the house of the Lord,
To live with God forever. [Refrain]
3 When burdens are heavy to bear,
Our shelter is God alone.
Our feet are lifted high,
Yes high upon a rock. [Refrain]
4 We walk in the strength of the Lord;
God’s love is ever sure.
We shout that the world may hear;
We sing a joyful song. [Refrain]
