We could have tongues of angels
We could move mountains with our faith
We could give everything away
But if we don't have love
We're left with nothingWe could see blind eyes opened
Know all the mysteries of our faith
We could sing all the highest praise
But if we don't have love
We're left with nothingPeople of God rise up
Rise up and shine God's love
We are the light of the world
Of the world, oh
We are the light of the world
Of the world, ohLove is what holds it all together
Love never fails, it never dies
There is no deeper truth
We know God is love, our God is lovePeople of God rise up
Rise up and shine God's love
We are the light of the world
Of the world, oh
We are the light of the world
Of the world, ohTear down the walls that divide us
Let love rebuild and unite us
All we need is, all we need is lovePeople of God rise up
Rise up and shine God's love
We are the light of the world
Of the worldPeople of God rise up
Rise up and shine God's love
We are the light of the world
Of the world
We are the light of the world
Of the worldWe are the light of the world
Of the world, oh
