Children Of The Light
Hillsong · Cornerstone [2012]
Children in the wilderness
Following the love You poured out for us
Covered by the Name that we confess
Jesus Saviour forever
Roaming through the dark of night
Clinging to the word that burns deep inside
Eyes fixed on Your Name and endless light
Jesus Saviour forever
[Chorus]
Set alight to follow
In the shadow of Your Name
The world is Yours and I know
Everything will find its place
Under Your Name
[Verse 2]
Walking on through the fire
Knowing I will not be burned but refined
Fearless in Your Name ever by my side
Jesus Saviour forever
Taking on the raging storm
Anchored to the kingdom unshakable
Holding to Your Name that outshines all
Jesus Saviour forever
[Chorus]
Set alight to follow
In the shadow of Your Name
The world is Yours and I know
Everything will find its place
Under Your Name
[Bridge (x2)]
Children of the light
Blazing through the night
Taking back what the devil had stolen
Calling on Your Name
Breaking every chain
Jesus everlasting freedom
Running through the wild
Dancing in the fire
Taking back what the devil had stolen
Calling on Your Name
Breaking every chain
Jesus everlasting freedom
[Chorus]
Set alight to follow
In the shadow of Your Name
The world is Yours and I know
Everything will find its place
Set alight to follow
In the shadow of Your Name
The world is Yours and I know
Everything will find its place
Under Your Name
Jesus under Your Name
[Outro]
Jesus
All the power
All the glory
All the praise be to Your Name forever
All the power
All the glory
All the praise be to Your Name forever
