He climbed up a slope
	To deliver words to bring us abundant hope;
	His amazing parables were miracles of happiness
	That flowed through us like refreshing water through a gill.
	And I’m awed with unlimited trust as I look towards
	That Light on a hill. 
	Yes, His words were made to give worship,
	And to make the gray of a cloudy day glisten.
	So come young and old; come sick and poor.
	Come weak and strong; come all who would listen. 
	That is why I read the scriptures. That is why I daily pray.
	Because I want to feel His magnificent glory in every way!
	Yes, I want to be uplifted. I want so truly to feel
	That Light on a hill. 
	Hey brother, do you hear His voice calling?
	Then why are you stalling?
	Hey brother, do you hear His voice calling?
	Then let your heart say, “Yes, I will! Yes, I will!”
	Yes, I will surrender my life to 
	That Light on a hill.
	For Christ is extending
	His hand with infinite love and appeal.
	Say yes, I want to be His disciple and to follow Him 
	Across the green pasture, or the battlefield. 
	Say yes, I want to be a candle of love
	For that Light on a hill. 
	Now let the timid rise and the tyrants fall
	Before His almighty shield!
	Once living in the shadows of sin
	Left me battered and torn.
	Before my life was completely shattered,
	I reached up to Jesus Christ and got reborn.
	Yes, His mercy will fulfill.
	That is why I witness my love
	For that Light on a hill,
	Whose sermon taught me a better life to build.
	And to no more temptations shall I yield!
	Praise hallelujah! I’m dipping my blemished soul
	Into the Balm of Gilead. Yes, I’m seeking that Supreme King
	Who broke a loaf into a thousand loaves of bread;
	Who raised up Lazarus from the dead!
	For only He can calm the storms over my head.
	Yes, I’m seeking that Supreme King
	Who whispers, “Peace be still.”
	While my spirit keeps ascending to 
	That Light on a hill.
	Through patience and sacrifice,  I get closer to His grace
	For I want to be lifted up to a higher place,
	Where I shall embrace the everlasting joy and triumph
	That His words reveal;
	Where I shall embrace that Light on a hill!
