I'm trying to find the words and music for a song I heard when
I was in Young Life many years ago. The words were:
I am the light of the world, you people come and follow me, if you
follow and love, you'll learn the mystery of...

....of what you were meant to do and be.

("of" is repeated there)

I don't know if there was another verse after that.

My youth group sang this hymn in the 70's. We changed some of the words a little bit

Here is a link to the words and guitar chords: https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/mi ... ds-1787200

Thank you maureeng,

Here is a video recording:

Here are the lyrics singled out:
CHORUS:
I am the Light of the World
You people come and follow me.
If you follow and love, You'll learn the mystery
Of what you were meant to do and be.

1. When the song of the angels is stilled.
When the star in the sky is gone.
When the kings and the shepherds have found their way home.
The work of Christmas is begun!

2. To find the lost and lonely one,
To heal that broken soul with love,
To feed the hungry children with warmth and good food,
To feel the earth below the sky above!

3. To free the prisoner from his chains,
To make the powerful care,
To rebuild the nations with strength and goodwill,
To call a man your brother everywhere.

4. To bring hope to every task you do,
To dance at a baby's new birth,
To make music in an old man's heart,
And sing to the colors of the earth!
