let's string a thousand lights


let's string a thousand lights
on every little house
that a yell has been heard from
that an angry word has been said
let's string a thousand lights
and maybe with a little light
and a lot of love
everything might feel
just a little bit
brighter
just a little bit
happier
and just a little bit
better

let's string a thousand lights
on the government's gate
in hope that they
would somehow see
the big plan that God
really wants to happen
in hope that they
themselves
can be saved
in His unending grace
so that they
would help to lead us
in the way
of the King of Kings
and the Lord of Lords
the Lion of Judah

let's string a thousand lights
on the evergreen tree
that tall one
that reaches up to the sky
let's hang some tinsel
and maybe a few porcelain ornaments
of beautiful red
and purple
and green
and blue
and silver
and gold
and on the top
let's put a star
shining like the sun
leading us
to the One
who has a plan
for each and every one of us

let's string a thousand lights
let's light a thousand candles
let's give a thousand hopes
to a thousand lost peoples

let's string a thousand lights
