Song: City on a Hill

Shiny! Shiny!

I got the spark living inside me, inside me.

Feels like my heart is made of lightning, lightening. And it's because of Jesus. You, Jesus!

You are the light of the world.

And we’re Your hands and feet on the earth, a city on a hill shining for Your glory.

You are the king of all kings.

And we're the only You that they see.

A city on a hill, shining for Your glory.

Brighter! Brighter!

Let's lift Him up a little higher, higher. Spread His love like wildfire, fire. The love of Jesus. King Jesus!

You are the light of the world.

And we’re Your hands and feet on the earth, a city on a hill, shining for Your glory.

You are the king of all kings.

And we're the only You that they see.

A city on a hill, shining for Your glory.

This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine!

I'm gonna shine on! I'm gonna shine on!

No putting out our flame. We’re gonna stand in faith. We're gonna shine on. We're gonna shine on!

You are the light of the world.

And we’re Your hands and feet on the earth, a city on a hill, shining for Your glory.

You are the king of all kings.

And we're the only You that they see.

A city on a hill, shining for Your glory.

Devotional:

Have you ever been asked who you are? What is your usual response? Maybe you answered by stating your name or what you do. What Jesus called His disciples in Matthew 5 had nothing to do with what they did, but rather who they were. Jesus told His disciples they were the “light of the world.” While this is a title that we oftentimes associate with who Jesus is, He had no problem telling His disciples that they too were the ones who would bring light to a dark world.

As the hands and feet of Jesus, you and I can bring His light into wherever we go and in everything we do. We can choose to shine our lights brightly when we stand for truth and include Him in our everyday lives. No matter how dark the world around us may be, keep in mind that Jesus Christ, the author of hope and light, lives inside of you. You were never intended to be hidden but were created to be a light for the entire world to see.
