I've walked these streets when the night felt cold
Shadows long, and the weight of alone
City lights flickered but never reached in
Every heart locked behind its own door
I carried my silence like chains on my soul
Till I heard a voice say, "You don't have to anymore"
Then I saw it, burning steady through the rain
One small flame that refused to fade (Chorus)
A light on the hill, shining bright for the broken
Calling the weary, the wandering, the forgotten
Not a beacon to worship from far away
But a fire that says, "Come in, there's room here today"
In a world that's gone dark, love is still burning still
Jesus is the light, the light on the hill
You opened Your door when I barely knocked
Sat me down like I'd always belonged
Bread on the table, tears on Your face
You said, "Child, every stranger is family by grace"
Now I'm learning to open my hands and my home
Because You first opened Yours for me when I had none of my own
A light on the hill, shining bright for the broken
Calling the weary, the wandering, the forgotten
We're no longer just scattered sparks in the night
We're carrying the same love, passing the same light
In a world that's gone dark, love is still burning still
Jesus is the light, and now we are too on every hill
So neighbor, if you're tired of hiding your pain
If the silence is louder than songs these days
There's a table with mercy, there's a family that stays
We were lonely once, but we've all been changed
Come as you are, every color, every scar
The door's wide open, just follow the star
A light on the hill, and it's multiplying still
Every heart that says yes becomes part of the thrill
From one lonely soul to a city awake
We're loving each other for Heaven's sake
In a world that's gone dark
Love is still burning still
Jesus is the light
And He lives in us now
We are the light on the hill
You are not alone
Come home
The light is on
