[Verse 1]
There comes time in everybody's life
When you're in trouble and you don't know what to do
With Jesus by you let Him be your guide
He's the one to hold on to

[Chorus]
He'll be the light of the world
When darkness is all around you
He'll be your friend in time of trouble and time of need

[Verse 2]
Ever wonder why there's storms up in the sky
Or is it that we never second thought
With His outstreched arms, he'll lead you on through the night
He promised to hold on strong

[Chorus]
Oh, He'll be the light of the world
When darkness is all around you, oh, oh yeah
He'll be your friend in time of trouble and time of need

[Bridge]
Oh, hold on to His hand
Hold on, real strong, hold on, oh
[Chorus]
He is the light of the world
When darkness is all around you - listen now, oh oh oh
He'll be your friend in time of trouble and time of need, yeah, oh
He is the light of the world
When darkness is all around you
You don't have to worry, now, whoa, yeah
He'll be your friend in time of trouble and time of need
Oh, oh, yeah
He is the light - I'm so glad He is the light of the world
Yeah, oh yeah
He'll be your friend in time of trouble and time of need
