I Want To Walk As A Child of the Light (Vs. 1, 2)

I want to walk as a child of the light, I want to follow Jesus. God set the stars to give light to the world; the star of my life is Jesus.

In him there is no darkness at all, the night and the day are both alike. The Lamb is the light of the city of God; shine in my heart, Lord Jesus

I want to see the brightness of God; I want to look at Jesus. Clear sun of righteousness, shine on my path, and show me the way to the Father

I'm looking for the coming of Christ; I want to be with Jesus. When we have run with patience the race, we shall know the joy of Jesus

I learn a lot from you. I cantor in my church . I don’t read music. So I learn by hearing. Thanks for your help

[joannegeorgiana]

Chris - as a Cantor for the last 26 years I’ve learned so many new songs from listening to your recordings. I don’t read music so your help has been instrumental in allowing me to bring new songs to the congregation. Thank you again.

Recently I was praying and reading scripture and I came across 1 John 1:5 which
reminded me of this song. I was delighted to find your version of it. To date your voice has augmented my prayer times on more than one occasion. Thank you. May you have a Blessed Good Friday and Happy Easter!

I Want to Walk as a Child of the Light

I want to walk as a child of the light
I want to follow Jesus
God sent the stars to give light to the world
The star of my life is Jesus

In Him, there is no darkness at all
The night and the day are both alike
The Lamb is the light of the city of God
Shine in my heart, Lord Jesus

I want to see the brightness of God
I want to look at Jesus
Clear sun of righteousness, shine on my path
And show me the way to the Father

In Him, there is no darkness at all
The night and the day are both alike
The Lamb is the light of the city of God
Shine in my heart, Lord Jesus

I'm looking for the coming of Christ
I want to be with Jesus
When we have run with patience the race
We shall know the joy of Jesus

In Him, there is no darkness at all
The night and the day are both alike
The Lamb is the light of the city of God
Shine in my heart, Lord Jesus
