Praise the One Who Breaks the Darkness

1 Praise the One who breaks the darkness  
With a liberating light;  
Praise the One who frees the pris'ners,  
Turning blindness into sight.  
Praise the One who preached the gospel,  
Healing every dread disease,  
Calming storms and feeding thousands  
With the very bread of peace.  

2 Praise the One who blessed the children  
With a strong yet gentle word;  
Praise the One who drove out demons  
With a piercing two-edged sword.  
Praise the One who brings cool water  
To the desert's burning sand;  
From this well comes living water  
Quenching thirst in every land.  

3 Praise the one true love incarnate:  
Christ, who suffered in our place;  
Jesus died and rose for many  
That we may know God by grace.  
Let us sing for joy and gladness,  
Seeing what our God has done.  
Praise the one redeeming glory;  
Praise the One who makes us one.
