Writer: Christopher Brown, Matthews Ntlete, Steven Furtick, Jane Williams
Waking up to another life
No more sorrow and no more night
You’re the light, let it shine now, let it shine now
Burning bright, ’cause we’re not ashamed
Got a world to illuminate
You’re the light, let it shine now, let it shine now
Nothing can stand against us
Our praise will break the darkness
We declare, Your kingdom’s here
Because our God is for us
We’re living in the promise
We declare, Your kingdom’s here
Shadows fade as you now arise
Hope is here with no end in sight
You’re the light, let it shine now, let it shine now
You’re the light, let it shine now, let it shine now
Nothing can stand against us
Our praise will break the darkness
We declare, Your kingdom’s here
Because our God is for us
We’re living in the promise
We declare, Your kingdom’s here
Shine a light, shine a light
Shine a light, shine a light
Shine a light, shine a light
Shine a light, shine a light
Shine a light, shine a light
Shine a light, shine a light
Shine a light, shine a light
Shine a light, shine a light
We’ve got a light and we’re gonna shine
Jesus let your name be glorified
We’ve got a light and we’re gonna shine
Forever let your name be glorified
We’ve got a light and we’re gonna shine
Jesus let your name be glorified
We’ve got a light and we’re gonna shine
Forever let your name be glorified
Shine a Light Song Meaning
“Shine a Light” calls believers to live openly in the hope of God’s kingdom. Light represents new life, courage, public witness, and praise that refuses to remain hidden by fear or shame.
Biblical Message
Matthew 5:14–16 calls disciples the light of the world. John 1:5 says light shines in darkness, while Romans 8:31 grounds courage in the confidence that God is for His people.
