We talk a big talk of how to reach out
But we keep to ourselves
The hope we’re seeking will never come
Until we give it away
Show me the light inside
Burning for the truth
What good is a light that we hide
I thought we were consumed?
Cause there’s a world that’s losing faith
Looking for the way
Show me the light
The endless souls in need of grace
Waiting in the shade
But altogether now
We can make sunshine from the gray
Chorus
Lyrics by Ian Eskelin, Fred Butson, Gabe Johannes; Music by Sevenglory
Behind the Song:"So often we feel pressure to “save” our friends or loved ones. There is a place for coming right out and spreading the love of Christ in a very intentional way. But I’ve learned that my life should always be leading people to Jesus. Every word I say, every reaction I give, and every move that I make reflects the God I serve. It’s not necessarily about how effective I am at sharing the gospel message, or whether I can convince someone of their need for Christ. I should be so consumed with Jesus that the world knows who I serve and want the same." - Fred Butson (
