We are the light of the world

On the last Sunday of 2012 I concluded the advent teaching series about the Overcoming the Darkness - the True Light of Christmas.  I shared about the Light of God's People.  I really appreciated Melissa as she sang this song for the offertory right before my message:



 

Every secret, every shame
Every fear, every pain
Live inside the dark
But that's not who we are
We are children of the day

So wake up sleeper, lift your head
We were meant for more than this
Fight the shadows conquer death
Make the most of the time we have left

We are the light of the world
We are the city on a hill
We are the light of the world
We gotta, we gotta, we gotta let the light shine

We are the light of the world
We are the city on a hill
We are the light of the world
We gotta, we gotta, we gotta let the light shine
Let the light shine, let the light shine

We are called to spread the news
Tell the world the simple truth
Jesus came to save, there's freedom in His Name
So let it all break through

We are the light of the world
We are the city on a hill
We are the light of the world
We gotta, we gotta, we gotta let the light shine
We are the light of the world
We are the city on a hill
We are the light of the world
We gotta, we gotta, we gotta let the light shine

Bridge:
We are the light
we are the light
we are the light
So let your light shine brighter.

We are the light
we are the light
we are the light

Jesus, You are the light
You are the light
You are the light
We will let You high and
shine, shine shine
