The Light of Jesus to the World Songtext

von Carman

Who's gonna take the shield of faith out into the ghettos and witness to the street gangs of the night?
Who's gonna be the bold one to tell the pimps and the prostitutes the affection that they crave is found in Christ?
Who'll take the breastplate of righteousness into this country's schools and preach holiness to every boy and girl?
Well, it's you and it's me who'll witness for the Savior, and be the light of Jesus to the world.

Tell me who'll walk strong and tall and gird their loins with truth and stand and say "abortion is a sin"?
Who will confront the politicians with all of their deception and say in heaven, God won't let liars in?
Who'll take the helmet of salvation out into Wall Street and teach wealth is more than cars, diamonds and pearls?
Well, it's you and it's me who'll take the cross of Calavary and be the light of Jesus to the world.

Because it's you and it's me, we are the world's examples, our govenrment won't teach us how to pray. Tell me when was the last time you witnessed to your neighbor and told him that Jesus is the way?

Because they're dying out in Vegas, they think gambling's the answer.
In Hollywood, they're lost in lust for fame.
The homosexual in San Francisco's trapped in vile bondage, and in Miami, drugs still play their hellish game.
Someone has to walk this gospel of peace throughout our nations. Our TV game shows won't clear out our jails.
Because it's you and it's me who'll bear the lamp of God and be the light of Jesus to world. I said it's you and it's me, we're still called his disciples, who'll be the bring the light of Jesus to the world?
