Southern Cross Shine

Words by Andrew Chinn, inspired by the
Community of MacKillop Catholic College,
Lake Haven
Christ our Light,
You show us the way
Christ our Light,
We live in your faith
Never seeing a need without
Shining your light
Reaching out in love,
May our Southern Cross shine
Welcome here to this
haven of love
Live in the light
and the love of our God
Live in the light of God’s
Holy Word
And take that light
to all of the world
Christ our Light,
You show us the way
Christ our Light,
We live in your faith
Never seeing a need without
Shining your light
Reaching out in love,
May our Southern Cross shine
Jesus said
“you are light of the world”
Be all you can be,
“you are salt of the Earth”
In my light and my love
may all your gifts grow
And let your light shine
wherever you go
Christ our Light,
You show us the way
Christ our Light,
We live in your faith
Never seeing a need without
Shining your light
Reaching out in love,
May our Southern Cross shine
“When I was hungry you
nourished me”
As salt of the earth we must
answer a need
We are travellers here,
gifted for others
Called to be saints,
Christ’s sisters and brothers
Christ our Light,
You show us the way
Christ our Light,
We live in your faith
Never seeing a need without
Shining your light
Reaching out in love,
May our Southern Cross shine
(repeat)
