Song Lyrics
Illuminating the Darkness
Narration (Scripture Reading over Am and F)
For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness, and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. (Ephesians 5:8-11)
Verse 1
We once were lost in shadows, bound by sin and shame
But now we walk in freedom, in Jesus’ holy name
The light of Christ within us, dispels the darkest night
We shine His truth and goodness, with power and with might
Chorus
Illuminating the darkness, with the light of His love
Bringing hope to the hopeless, from the heavens above
Illuminating the darkness, we will shine so bright
Reflecting His glory, in the darkest night
Verse 2
We live as children of light, in all we say and do
Proclaiming His salvation, His mercies ever new
Exposing every falsehood, with righteousness and truth
With hearts ablaze for Jesus, we shine His light in youth
Pre-Chorus
We decree His justice reigns
We proclaim His holy name
Chorus
Illuminating the darkness, with the light of His love
Bringing hope to the hopeless, from the heavens above

In the courts of heaven, we pray
For Your light to lead the way
In the Spirit, we declare
Your kingdom come, Your truth laid bare

Illuminating the darkness, we will shine so bright
Reflecting His glory, in the darkest night
