The Light Of The World Is Jesus

"Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." John 8:12. As I was reading this verse this morning, it reminded me of the beautiful hymn "The Light of the World is Jesus." The lyrics and music were written in 1875 by Philip P. Bliss. Our world is lost in sin, corruption, and evilness. May God help us to see that Jesus is our only light...the light of life.

The whole world was lost in the darkness of sin; The light of the world is Jesus;
Like sunshine at noonday, His glory shone in, The light of the world is Jesus.

No darkness have we who in Jesus abide, The light of the world is Jesus;
We walk in the light when we follow our Guide, The light of the world is Jesus.

No need of the sunlight in Heaven, we're told, The light of the world is Jesus;
The Lamb is the Light in the City of Gold, The light of the world is Jesus.

Refrain:
Come to the Light, 'tis shining for thee;
Sweetly the Light has dawned upon me;
Once I was blind, but now I can see;
The Light of the world is Jesus.

Love in Christ,
Tera
