In the shadow, in the fear, Lost and wandering, no hope near
In the silence, we cried out, Searching for a way filled with doubt
But then you came, shining bright, And broke through the darkest night
The people in darkness have seen a great light
A savior has come to give us new sight
In the land of shadows, your love shines on
In the face of death, a light has dawned
Oh, a light has dawned
Yes, a light has dawned
Hearts awake and chains undone
In your presence, victories won
From despair to hope, we rise
Lift our gaze to heaven's skies
Jesus, you are shining still
Lighting paths according to your will
The people in darkness have seen a great light
A savior has come to give us new sight
In the land of shadows, your love shines on
In the face of death, a light has dawned
Oh, a light has dawned
Yes, a light has dawned
Yes, a lock in freedom's flame
No more fear, we bear your name
From the grave, you pulled us out
Now forever, we will shout
The people in darkness have seen a great light
A savior has come to give us new sight
In the land of shadows, your love shines on
In the face of death, a light has dawned
Oh, a light has dawned
Yes, a light has dawned
In the darkness, you shine so bright
Jesus, you are the great light
Oh, a light has dawned
Yes, a light has dawned
