Light Of The World Lyrics - Mark Chesnutt

You are the light of the world 

You are the light of the world 

But if that light is under a bushel 

Brr, it's lost something kind of crucial 

You got to stay bright to be the light of the world 

You are the salt of the earth 

You are the salt of the earth 

But if that salt has lost its flavor 

It ain't got much in its favor 

You can't have that fault and be the salt of the earth! 

So let your light so shine before men 

Let your light so shine 

So that they might know some kindness again 

We all need help to feel fine 

(Let's have some wine!) 

You are the city of God 

You are the city of God 

But if that city's on a hill 

It's kinda hard to hide it well 

You've got to stay pretty in the city of God 

So let your light so shine before men 

Let your light so shine 

So that they might know some kindness again 

We all need help to feel fine 

(Let's have some wine!) 

You are the light of the world 

You are the light of the world 

But the tallest candlestick 

Ain't much good without a wick 

You've got to live right to be the light of the world
