Just as long as I’m in this world, I am the light of this world
Just as long as I’m in this world, I am the light of this world
Just as long as I’m in this world, I am the light of this world
Just as long as I’m in this world, I am the light of this world
Oh, you don’t believe in blessings
Yet now your life is saved
You found last year depressing
Without the warmth you craved..
So treasure your salvation
All the energy you can bring
View lockdown as gestation
New songs you can sing.
Just as long as I’m in this world, I am the light of this world
Just as long as I’m in this world, I am the light of this world
Just as long as I’m in this world, I am the light of this world
Just as long as I’m in this world, I am the light of this world
Grace is the key to heaven
And faith unlocks the door
The struggle starts to leaven
You rise from off the floor.
You found the strength to make it
Through the darkness and the fear
Although your confidence was shaken
As the hand of death drew near.
Just as long as I’m in this world, I am the light of this world
Just as long as I’m in this world, I am the light of this world
Just as long as I’m in this world, I am the light of this world
Just as long as I’m in this world, I am the light of this world
Hard times will take your measure
Tax your strength and wit
Make sure you pay attention
Prove you got some grit.
Y’all sing out now, rejoicing
Fortunate sons and daughters
Take pleasure in this voicing
Of triumph over troubled waters.
Just as long as I’m in this world, I am the light of this world
Just as long as I’m in this world, I am the light of this world
Just as long as I’m in this world, I am the light of this world
Just as long as I’m in this world, I am the light of this world
