LIGHT

Snippet

“May it be a light to you in dark places, when all other lights go 

out.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

Scripture

Here’s another way to put it: You’re here to be light, bringing out 

the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We’re 

going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you 

light-bearers, you don’t think I’m going to hide you under a 

bucket, do you? I’m putting you on a light stand. Now that I’ve 

put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open 

house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, 

you’ll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in 

heaven. Matthew 5:14-16 Message

READY OR NOT BRITT NICOLE

I tried to cover my shine

I've tried staying in the lines

I, I, I don't wanna hide

No, not tonight

You, you, you want me to take my light, light

Fit it in your box, right?

I want you to look me in the eye, eye, eye, eye

Ready or not

Here, here, here, here I come

I'm about to show you where the light comes from

Oh, oh, oh ready or not

Here, here I come

This is who I am

I won't hide it

I'mma take it all over the world

To the young, to the old, every boy and girl

Ready or not

Here, here I come

I'mma show the world where the love is

I'm not ever selling out love

A love out loud is what it's all about

Giving everything to see the lost get found

Yeah, it's going down

You, you, you want me to take my light, light

Fit it in your box, right?

I want you to look me in the eye, eye, eye, eye

Ready or not

Here, here, here, here I come

I'm about to show you where the light comes from

Oh, oh, ready or not

Here, here I come

This is who I am

I won't hide it

I'mma take it all over the world

To the young, to the old, every boy and girl

Ready or not

Here, here I come

I'mma show the world where the love is

[LECRAE]

I refuse to keep this buried deep inside of me

Yeah this little light of mine, it's time to let it shine a bit

'Cause there's no point in hiding it

It's everything I am

The source of all my hope

And it's the reason why I stand

And I pledge allegiance to be somebody real

There's no more holding it back

I'm showing them how I feel 'cause love is more than a word

It's a noun, and a verb, and hiding it is absurd

Ya heard

Ready or not

Here, here, here, here I come

I'm about to show you where the light comes from

Oh, oh, ready or not

Here, here I come

This is who I am

I won't hide it

I'mma take it all over the world

To the young, to the old, every boy and girl

Ready or not

Here, here I come

I'mma show the world where the love is

Sentence Prayer

Jesus 

You are my light when all other lights go out.

Praise be to you.  May I abide with you

so I can be a little light to those in great darkness.

Amen
