Live by the Light of His Love - words and music by Betsy Lee Bailey

When the Savior taught by the shores of Galillee
In His words of love, He told people how to be.
He said, "I am the Light and the Life, Come follow me."
Oh, then, live by the light of His love.

Oh, how blessed are they who will walk in righteous ways;
Who will love and serve and endure through all their days;
Who will trust in the Lord and delight to sing His praise;
Who will live by the light of His love.

Though temptations may beckon me to stray from my course,
I will valiantly follow the Lord.

So, I will choose the right.
I'll give love and service, too.
I will hold steadfast to the things I know are true.
I will learn what the Savior would have me say and do.
I will live by the light of His love.

In the promised land, to righteous anciently,
When the Lord appeared and they worshipped at His knee,
He said, "I am the Law and the Light.  Look unto me."
Oh, then, live by the light of His love.

Oh, how blessed are they who will walk in righteous ways;
Who will love and serve and endure through all their days;
Who will trust in the Lord and delight to sing His praise;
Who will live by the light of His love.

Though temptations may beckon me to stray from my course,
I will valiantly follow the Lord.

So, I will choose the right.
I'll give love and service, too.
I will hold steadfast to the things I know are true.
I will learn what the Savior would have me say and do.
I will live by the light of His love.
I will live by the light of His love.
