Lyrics
BEACON OF HOPE VERSE ONE: (Richard) With a burning desire, our spirits aspire, to a love so divine, you can't help but admire. In trials and tribulations, LORD, you never tire; Your grace and mercy, our souls do require. O beacon of hope, You set our souls on fire. Through the storms of life, You are our spire. CHORUS: Guide us through the darkness, LORD; You’re our light. We lift Your name higher. You’re our eternal fire; in Your love, we find our truest desire. Come and inspire us, LORD; spark our souls with Your heavenly choir. With every step of the way, Your light, LORD, is our guide. VERSE TWO: (John) Throughout the ages, Your word has stood true, Where else should I turn? I will put my trust in You. I will yield to Your way, for Your way is right. I will turn to You, LORD, and run to the Light. CHORUS: Guide us through the darkness, LORD; You’re our light. We lift Your name higher. You’re our eternal fire; in Your love, we find our truest desire. Come and inspire us, LORD; spark our souls with Your heavenly choir. With every step of the way, Your light, LORD, is our guide.
