Cuz I Am Looking For A Sword Made Of It.

Why would you want a light sword?
Another factor not yet mentioned is that heavier swords have more momentum when they strike an object therefore they chop further into it.
This is why a butcher uses a clever instead of a paring knife.

lith·i·um a soft, silver-white metallic element, the lightest of all metals, occurring combined in certain minerals. Symbol: Li; atomic weight: 6.939; atomic number: 3; specific gravity: 0.53 at 20°C.
doesn't sound like it would make a good sword - too soft.
FYI - A good sword is more than a piece of metal shaped to a long tapered form and fitted with a handle, although certainly many swords that are little more than that have been used over the millennia. While there are many criteria for evaluating a sword, generally the three key criteria are hardness, strength and balance.
A good sword has to be hard enough to hold an edge along a length which can range from 18 inches (45 cm) to more than 36 inches (90 cm) and at the same time it must be strong enough and flexible enough that it can absorb massive shocks at just about any point along its length and not crack or break. Finally it should be balanced along its length so that it can be easily wielded.

You can't make a sword out of lithium. You might as well make one out of silly putty. Beryllium might be used for a sword, but you'd have to be VERY careful, because it is poisonous, and you'll kill yourself with your own sword.
If you want a sword that could actually be used, a titanium alloy might work. There is a reason why real swords are made from steel.

I think your best bet would be a sword made of Damascus Steel. See the links I'm posting.
