Song Lyrics

City on a Hill

Narration (Scripture Reading over C and F)

You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. (Matthew 5:14-16)

Verse 1

We are the light, shining in the darkness
We are a city, on a hill
With every act of kindness, love and mercy
We show the world, the Father’s will

Chorus

We are a city on a hill, shining bright
Let our deeds bring glory to Your name
We are a city on a hill, burning bright
In Your light, we’ll never be the same

Verse 2

Lift up your eyes, see the fields are ready
The harvest ripe, the laborers few
We’ll shine Your light, in every heart and nation
Reflecting Christ, in all we do

Pre-Chorus

Let us be a beacon, in the night
Let our light dispel the dark

Chorus

We are a city on a hill, shining bright
Let our deeds bring glory to Your name
We are a city on a hill, burning bright
In Your light, we’ll never be the same

Bridge

In this world of darkness, we stand
As Your holy flame
Empowered by Your Spirit, we proclaim
The power of Your name

Chorus

We are a city on a hill, shining bright
Let our deeds bring glory to Your name
We are a city on a hill, burning bright
In Your light, we’ll never be the same

Outro

Let our light shine, let our light shine
In the darkest night
Let our light shine, let our light shine
Bringing hope to life
