Lord, let me be a beacon In a dark world today Let me shine with your love To guide men on the way Let me gently and kindly lead lost souls to you Let me always be willing To be faithful and true I will carry a lantern To brighten the path I will carry a light To a soul torn apart Let your mercy and love Be reflected in me Let my love be an anchor That will bring souls to thee If I carry a lantern Will your hand be my guide? Will your spirit be present And remain by my side? I know, Lord, the task You've entrusted to me And I pray I will faithfully lead lost souls to thee I will lay down my life For a world without thee For you gave all you had When you sought and found me Let me faithfully share, Lord Your mercy through me Let my life be a beacon To set mankind free I have walked in your footsteps So that all men may see Your love and your mercy Reflected in me Yes, I'll walk your footsteps So that all men may see Your love and your mercy Reflected in me
