In a world longing for truth and connection, Regina Vandereijk presents “You’re the Light,” a raw and heartfelt anthem tracing humanity’s journey from creation to brokenness—and ultimately, to restoration through Christ.

Written during the global stillness of the 2020 lockdown and featuring lyrics by her brother, Barrett Davis, the song begins in Eden, capturing God’s intimate act of forming man from the dust and breathing life into him. From this sacred beginning, the song descends into the fracture—sin, loneliness, and the aching distance between God and humanity.

Barrett’s poetic lyrics expose the cost of exchanging truth for lies, and the pain of spiritual separation: “in the absence of a friend to call my name.” Yet at the heart of the song is radiant hope—Jesus, the Light of the World, breaks through our darkness. He is the Anchor, the Lifeboat, the Lighthouse who crosses the waters of our separation and draws us back to Himself.

Musically, “You’re the Light” blends Indie Pop, Soul, and Acoustic tones with ambient, singer-songwriter, and contemporary Christian textures. The sound is reflective and raw, yet uplifting and full of fire, mirroring themes of faith, resilience, love, struggle, and creation.

The radio edit offers a focused and compelling version, perfect for airplay, while the longer album version can be found on The Lord Is There, Regina’s deeply spiritual and story-rich album, released earlier this year.

“You’re the Light” is a love song from dust to divine—radical in its honesty, rooted in Scripture, and burning with the mercy of God.

Listen. Be moved. Turn to the Light.
