I Will Stand as a Witness of Christ

21st Foreign Missionaries' Retreat - theme song
Lyrics:

Encircled in the arms of heavens love
With grateful heart I walk the path prepared for me
The Savior is my light, my comfort and my guide
And his word is a lamp unto my feet

Yet all around me others wander lost
Whom will he send to seek them as they stray?
When mists of darkness rise to blind his childrens eyes
Who will show the way? Who will show the way?

A city on a hill cannot be hid,
Let your light so shine, the Savior said

Chorus:
Like Esther in her courage, like Joseph in his faith
Like Ruth in her devotion, like Nephi in his strength
I will stand for truth and righteousness, reflecting heavens light
And my life will be like a beacon in the night
For I will stand as a witness of Christ

The Spirit whispers peace into my soul
In every trial, in each uncertain hour.
I know I can endure for as I kneel in prayer
He enfolds me in the warmth of heavens power

Yet others weep for grief that knows no peace
Where is their hope but in the Masters word?
What comfort will he send to heal the hearts of men?
Who will bear his love and light into the world?

A city on a hill cannot be hid,
Let your light so shine, the Savior said

(Repeat Chorus)

Like a candle in the darkness, like a fire upon the hearth
Like the star that led to Bethlehem, like sunrise oer the earth
A city on a hill cannot be hid
Let your light so shine, the Savior said

(Repeat Chorus)

I like this song a lot.. It was one of the inspiring song that keeps my faith to GOD alive..... Nephi is one of the name in the Bible but I'm not sure on which book to find that name...... May this song Bless us all

[mordecai002]

Hi!

I don't think you can find "Nephi" in the Bible. It's the first book in the Book or Mormons.

I'm glad you also like the song.:-)
