We Are The Light Of The World-Kari Jobe

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

We are called to the spread the news
Tell the world the simple truth
Jesus came to save, there's freedom in His Name
So let his love 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!

Amazing lyrics by an amazing artist by the name of Kari Jobe. She has been such a blessing to me, with her lyrics and songs touching my heart and life every day I just turn on one of her songs, it doesn't have to be a specific one cause they all are beautiful and portray such amazing truth. This song expresses what our generation should push through to do everyday of every minute, "We are the light of the world.." God has given us a reason to be on this earth, and sometimes we take it for granted and get caught up in the moments of the world and emotions and feelings that make us feel content and happy and good. But God can be your light, your strong hold, the one who lifts you up when you have been thrown or pushed to the ground and Satan is tearing every part of you up in pieces and you are bound up in fear and anger and lies. "We are meant for more than this, fight the shadows conquer death, make the most of the time we have left." I don't know if you have noticed, but time is right now, its passing by so fast that when the next day comes around, it makes me sick to my stomach to think I have wasted 19 years of my life just flying by the seat of my pants and not realizing that we have a young generation coming up at this very moment and we, WE as young adults need to raise up this generation as Christians under God. We need to stand up for what we believe and not be ashamed for what we believe in. That time is now! so why waist it?
