V1 God's love is a beacon His living Word lights the path to freedom Hope shines like a midnight sun Faith is found in God's son Bridge Lead me to the alter Love will not let me falter V2 There were times in life I lost my way In a world of fear, hope will shine Every day, I would pray Please Lord, give me a sign Bridge You're more than a glimmer of hope You gave me the strength to cope Chorus Thank you Lord for reaching me I no longer feel alone My faith in You set me free Your love has been my way home Mankind's only hope is God's love So many hearts have felt hurt We need guidance from above The world is crying out Despair is everywhere That mankind's only hope, only hope, is God's love V3 Fear is the poison that consumes us all Faith is the answer to fear Read the writing on the wall The messages are clear Bridge Mankind's only hope is God's love Chorus When the Lord reached out to me I no longer felt alone Faith in Him set me free His love has been my way home Mankind's only hope is God's love So many hearts have felt hurt We need guidance from above The world is crying out Despair is everywhere Mankind's only hope, only hope, is God's love Is God's love
