1.) The lonely lamb had wandered out into the winter night. / But on those snow-bound rolling hills, he lost his homing light. / The shepherd, who would ever think, would leave the ninety-nine? / In love, to search those lonesome hills, with his pure light to shine.
CHORUS #1.) Search light, keep on burning. Searching hearts 'til men can see. Search light, keep on shining. Bring the hearts of men to thee.
2.) "I know the thoughts I have toward you, of peace, and not of war." / "Oh come to me, and take for free, my love forevermore." / "So call on me, and pray to me with all your heart, and then." / "Your search for me will find me, and these wandering nights will end."
CHORUS#2.) Search light, keep on shinging. Bring good news of Christ this night. Search light, keep on burning, with your ever-loving light.
(Instrumental interlude, featuring trumpet.)
3.) What was concealed, now you've revealed. Your spirit brings the word. / That you're prepared for those you love, what's not been seen or heard. / Your prophecies, your promises, we hold them oh so dear. / But weep at times, for left behind are those who need to hear.
CHORUS #3.) Search light, keep on shinging. Bring good news of Christ, we pray./ Search light, keep on burning, 'til the everlasting day.
