This song is on Point of Grace's cd A Christmas Story
Of course I can only find the words and not the song without downloading it.

Light of the world
Shine down on Bethlehem
God in His glory has sent us a Son
Shout from on high
And out in the street
Jesus our Savior is born!
Bright shining star
Shine down on everyone
God in His mercy has sent us a Son
The shepherds will cry
Praise to the Lord!
Jesus our Savior is born!
Alleluia baby Jesus
Alleluia baby Jesus
Jesus our Savior is born
Sing Alleluia
Light of the world
Shine down on Bethlehem
God in His glory has sent us a Son
Shout from on high
And out in the street
Jesus our Savior is born!
Alleluia baby Jesus
Alleluia baby Jesus
Jesus our Savior is born
Sing Alleluia
I was playing my cd the other day and this song really struck me. The Light of the World came down at Christmas time!!! Without the Light of the World I would not be making it on this journey. His light has shown in different ways on this dark journey, and sometimes it has only been a pin size light, but there has always been light if I am willing to search for it. What would I be doing if this journey was completely dark! Jesus is the Light that shines in the darkness.
I wrote in my status that we would be going to look at Christmas lights tonight, and I am trying to focus on being thankful that Janie Beth is seeing an amazing showcase of lights being in the presence of the Light of the World and not being sad that she isn't here.
Can you imagine!?! I can't! I do not eve know how to begin to imagine what the Light of the World looks like.
Then, I went and read a devotional in my email and it was about Jesus being the Light of the World and slowing down like Mary and focusing on Jesus. It suggested preparing dinner, eating dinner, and doing the dishes by candlelight. Then, discuss 1 John 1:5, "God is light and in Him there is no darkness at all." Afterward, go look at Christmas lights with some hot chocolate.
What a wonderful way to remember that Jesus is the Light! We are going to look a Christmas lights tonight and we may very well be in candlelight tonight!
In this world we live in, we are in major need of the Light!!
Father, teach me to never miss Your light!
I love it when there's no doubt that Jesus is telling you something cuz it comes to you this way. We thought it'd be a great night to look at Christmas lights to after I saw your facebook post:)
