How can we make them understand
That without Christ they'll die
And that there life on earth
Had been in vain

How can we tell our brothers
Who are dying in their sins
That Abundant Life is found
In the Name of Jesus

How can we speak the Truth
To the lost souls of this land
When at times it seems
They just don't listen

We must shine like a beacon
Glow in the night
Tell all the people
That Jesus is the Light

Set the world on fire
By telling them His Name
Jesus lives forever
He's the Everlasting Flame
(last line is played)

How can we love our neighbour
Just the way we love ourselves
When we don't seem to have the time
To spend together

It's nice to say hello my friend
But what about his soul
Isn't his salvation
More important than the weather

And what about our family
Is everybody saved
Do they not deserve a home
With us in heaven

There are mansions built for all of us
With many rooms to spare
How can we tell our loved ones
That they are welcome

We must shine like a beacon
Glow in the night
Tell all the people
That Jesus is the Light

Set the world on fire
By telling them His Name
Jesus lives forever
He's the Everlasting Flame
(last line is played)

We must shine like a beacon
Glow in the night
Tell all the people
That Jesus is the Light
