[Chorus]
G           C
This light
      G           C
Is for the world
G           C
This light
      G           C   D
Is for the world

[Verse]
                   C         Am
Send out from this wooden frame__
                 D
A beacon made of holy flame
                         C          Am
Like a bridge across the morning sky___
                   D
From candle to the hills of high

[Chorus]
G           C
This light
      G           C
Is for the world
G           C
This light
      G           C   D
Is for the world

[Verse]
                 C           Am
Send it out with sword of fire___
                      D
With cymbal, drum and angel choir
             C          Am
Music in the heart of it___
                     D
Proclaiming that the lamp is lit

[Chorus]
G           C
This light
      G           C
Is for the world
G           C
This light
      G           C
Is for the world

[Verse]
                             C           Am
Bring it down from where the light is born___
              D
Deep into the world of form
                          C          Am
Loving, blessing, healing as it shines___
                    D
In darkened places, darkened minds

[Chorus]
G           C
This light
      G           C
Is for the world
G           C
This light
      G           C
Is for the world

[Chorus]
G           C
This light
      G           C
Is for the world
G           C
This light
      G           C
Is for the world
