I love songs that ask Christians to shine! God indeed, asks us to be a witness in word and deed for everyone we cross paths with in this world. (Matthew 5:16) This song is just another great work of art, reminding us of this call for our lives! (Trivia, TobyMac sings with a rather new artist, Hollyn, whose real name is Holly Marie Miller and was on American Idol season 12!)
Verse for Consideration:
Matthew 5:16 ESV
In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
Lyrics:
Lights shine bright everywhere we go Music for the people, makin’ music for the people Lights shine bright everywhere we go Lights shine bright everywhere we go Everywhere we go, music for the people, makin' music for the people
I wanna magnify Your light I wanna reflect the sun Cut like precious diamonds With the colors by the millions This is the only world we know And for now this rental’s our home If we gonna be a reflection Gotta make this third rock glow (Just so you know)
Lights shine bright everywhere we go Music for the people to illuminate the soul Lights shine bright everywhere we go Music for the people, makin’ music for the people
Lights shine bright everywhere we go Music for the people to illuminate the soul Lights shine bright everywhere we go
Music for the people
Jesus music for the people
Everywhere we go Lights shine bright, lights shine bright Everywhere we go
Lights shine bright, lights shine bright
Lights in the city might be more than pretty, pretty That freaky shine might be more than meets the eye Anytime you see that sparkle in the dark you might look deeper, deeper It might be more than simply theatre
Yo, that smile might be joy that’s connected to the spirit The spirit might be contagious if you dare, you dare come near it I remember, can’t forget, peace that you can’t second guess Sparkle as the light reflects we writin’ pay it forward checks
Lights shine bright everywhere we go
Music for the people to illuminate the soul Lights shine bright everywhere we go Music for the people, makin’ music for the people
Lights shine bright everywhere we go Music for the people to illuminate the soul Lights shine bright everywhere we go Music for the people Jesus music for the people
Everywhere we go Lights shine bright, lights shine bright Everywhere we go
Lights shine bright, lights shine bright
The lights in the city shine bright The lights in the city shine bright So let your heart light shine tonight
Lights shine bright everywhere we go Music for the people to illuminate the soul Lights shine bright everywhere we go Music for the people, makin’ music for the people
Lights shine bright everywhere we go Music for the people to illuminate the soul Lights shine bright everywhere we go Music for the people Jesus music for the people
Everywhere we go
Lights shine bright, lights shine bright Everywhere we go, everywhere we go, everywhere we go Everywhere we go, everywhere we go, everywhere we go
Lights shine bright, lights shine bright Everywhere we go, everywhere we go, everywhere we go Everywhere we go, everywhere we go Lights shine bright, everywhere we go Lights shine bright, everywhere we go Everywhere we go, music for the people makin' music for the people
