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
