[Outro]
G
Oh my lord, you sent your son to save us Oh my lord, your very self you gave us
DG
Oh my lord, that sin will not enslave us, And love may reign once more.
Oh my lord, when in the crib they found him
Oh my lord, a golden halo crowned him
D
Oh my lord, they gathered all around him
G
To see him and adore... ( His light is shining on us all!)
Oh my lord, ( So praise the lord!) they had begun to doubt you.
Oh my lord, ( He is the truth forever ) what did they know about you?
DG
Oh my lord, ( So praise the lord ) but they were lost without you They needed you so bad.
DG
(His light is shining on us all )
