The Light of the World

You are the light

Shone upon the world

You are the light

You are the light of the world

The salt of the earth

Shine your light in darkness

And preserve all the world

Do not think that I

Abolish prophets or the law

I have come to fulfill

And surpass them all

I am the light

Shone upon the world

I am the light

And you have heard it said

You shall not murder or kill

But if you carry anger in your heart

The blood of violence will spill

And you have heard it said

Eye for the eye and the tooth for the tooth

But I say turn the other cheek

And to your enemies do good

You are the light

Shone upon the world

You are the light

These are the teachings of Christ

These are the teachings of Jesus

This is the truth and the life

And we must follow his way

And you have heard it said

Let your judgment be just

But I say judge no one at all

And you will not be judged

And you have heard it said

Do not swear a false oath

I say take no oath at all

Let your yes be yes and your no be no

And you have heard it said

Do not commit adultery

But I say do not lust in your heart

And your love will be chaste

You are the light

Shone upon the world

You are the light

And you have heard it said

Love your neighbor and hate your enemy

But I say love friend and foe

And for your enemies pray

And do not think that I

Abolish prophets or the law

I have come to fulfill

And surpass them all

For I am the light

Shone upon the world

I am the light
