Today’s song features many well-known artists. The lyrics pose several challenges, with the overall message of being a Light in this dark world … to shine God’s Light in war, times of doubt, where hatred and wrongdoing are ... any time the opportunity arises. It’s about making a difference for Jesus’ sake. Life here on earth is short, and the decisions you make now impact your eternity. Have you asked Jesus into your heart so you will spend eternity with Him? or will you wait and chance spending eternity in hell? Choose Jesus and choose life! Shine His Light wherever you go, whatever you do, in every situation life brings. Don’t be afraid to speak the truth of God’s Word. Don’t be afraid to do what’s right, even if everyone else is doing wrong. In a world filled with hate, be a Light!
Matthew 5:16 - “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Ecclesiastes 9:1-2 – “For all this I considered in my heart even to declare all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God: no man knoweth either love or hatred by all that is before them. 2 All things come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner; and he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath.” Ephesians 2:8-10 – “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” 2Corinthians 4:6 - “For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.”
Song Lyrics: "In a time full of war, be peace; in a time full of doubt, just believe. Yeah, there ain't that much difference between you and me; in a time full of war, be peace. In a world full of hate, be a Light. When you do somebody wrong, make it right. Don't hide in the dark, you were born to shine! In a place that needs change, make a difference. In a time full of noise, just listen. 'Cause life is but a breeze, better live it! In a race that you can't win, slow it down. Yeah, you only get one go-around ‘cause the finish line is six feet in the ground. Yeah, it's hard to live in color when you just see black and white. In a world full of hate, be a Light."
