Theme: Light

Light is one of the most powerful metaphors in Scripture and in worship. God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. Songs about light celebrate the nature of God himself and the experience of his presence breaking into human darkness. They speak of guidance in uncertainty, hope in despair, truth in confusion, and life where there was death. Light songs often carry a sense of dawning — of something new breaking through — and they create an atmosphere of clarity, hope, and consecration in worship. For congregations walking through seasons of difficulty, singing about light is an act of defiant faith in the God who overcomes all darkness.
