A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. 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." John 8:12 (ESV) Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." Philippians 2:15 (ESV) "...that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world." Lyrics Let Your Light Shine When morning wakes the sleepy skies And birds begin their cheerful song, God lights a little flame inside To help us shine the whole day long. It's not a light that hands can hold, Or one that candles brightly bear. It glows with kindness, hope, and love, A gift from God for all to share. When someone sits all by themselves, Your smile can be a welcome light. When someone feels afraid or sad, Your words can make the darkness bright. A helping hand, A gentle heart, A quiet prayer, A faithful start. These little things may seem so small, Like stars that sparkle in the night. Yet every act of faithful love Can fill the world with heaven's light. A city shining on a hill Is never hidden from our view. So don't conceal the light God gave; He made it bright for shining through. Let truth be seen in all you say. Let mercy guide the things you do. Forgive with joy. Give thanks each day. Let Jesus' love shine out through you. For light was never made to hide Beneath a basket, out of sight. It dances where the shadows flee And turns the darkest path to light. So carry hope where others fear. Bring peace where angry voices call. A single light can lead the way, And love shines brightest of them all. Wherever God may lead your feet-- At home, at church, at school, at play-- Remember Christ, the Light of Life, And let His light shine every day.
