Light over darkness, grace not fear
Halloween night is full of costumes, candy and friends. This song is our invitation: nobody has to hide, and nobody is too far. Whether you dressed up tonight or stayed home, you are welcome. Turn on the light and bring a friend.
Inspired by John 1:5 and 1 John 4:18 (paraphrased).
Lyrics
Verse 1
Masks on the corner, porch lights low
Paper bats spinning in the window glow
Everybody's out here chasing a scare
But I got a feeling there's something better out there
Pre-chorus
No need to hide, no need to run
The dark never stood a chance against the Son
Chorus
Turn on the light, turn on the light
No fear, no fear, we're shining bright
Come as you are, mask and all
Grace knows your name, so answer the call
Verse 2
Ghost stories whispered under the moon
Candy in a pillowcase, a borrowed costume
Nobody's too far and nobody's too lost
Love walked into the dark and paid the cost
Bridge
The light keeps shining in the dark
And the dark can't put it out
Perfect love drives out the fear
Lift it up and shout it out
Outro
Turn on the light
If you're searching: how to be saved
The light in the song is real. Here is what the Bible says (King James Version):
We all fall short
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23
God loves you
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16
Believe and call on Him
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” Romans 10:9
It's a gift
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.” Ephesians 2:8
If you want to start, you can pray right now in your own words: tell God you've sinned, that you believe Jesus died for you and rose again, and ask Him to be your Lord. Then find a Bible-believing church near you and tell someone.
