It was around August last year that he released an EP, so I convinced him to join me today to present one of his songs on Afri-tunes. He was also excited about it. You can listen to the studio version of the song below. You might find it interesting to know that I sang backup vocals alongside @eloobaro and @treasuree. The lead vocalist, @ministerwallay, is already recognizable.
STUDIO VERSION
Using this medium to brag about my choir coordinator. He was in the studio too, as well as producing the beat and arranging the harmonies. However, he's left the country. I hope to be able to join him soon in the UK.
It is, as Minister Wallay said, a song inspired by the Holy Spirit, and it emphasizes that we are the light of the world.
It can also be tailored to your life because God's light shines so brightly that darkness cannot comprehend it when it comes in contact with it.
The song reminds us that no matter how dark our circumstances may seem, God's light can still break through and reveal the truth.
It also encourages us to be a source of light in our own lives and to spread God's love and joy to the world around us.
Below are the lyrics to the song. I hope it blesses you.
Your light shines brighter than all light
Your light shines brighter than all light
Your light shines brighter than all light
I am the light, as it is written
I am the light of the world, I am the light of the world.
I am the light as it is written.
I am the light of the world.
I am the light of the world.
CAN you see the light, the light that shines
I am the light of the world. I am the light of the world
CAN you see the light, the light of God?
I am the light of the world. I am the light of the world.
The light of the righteous rejoiceth.
I am the light of the world.
A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid
The light of the righteous rejoiceth
I am the light of the world.
A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.
I am the light, as it is written.
I am the light of the world.
I am the light as it is written.
I am the light of the world. I am the light of the world.
CAN you see the light, the light that shines
I am the light of the world. I am the light of the world
Can you see the light, the light of God?
I am the light of the world. I am the light of the world.
Arise and shine for thy light has come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.
Your light shines brighter than all light
Your light shines brighter than all light
I am the light, as it is written
I am the light of the world, I am the light of the world.
I am the light as it is written.
I am the light of the world.
I am the light of the world.
CAN you see the light, the light that shines
I am the light of the world. I am the light of the world
CAN you see the light, the light of God?
I am the light of the world. I am the light of the world.
The light of the righteous rejoiceth.
I am the light of the world.
A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid
The light of the righteous rejoiceth
I am the light of the world.
A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.
I am the light, as it is written.
I am the light of the world.
I am the light as it is written.
I am the light of the world. I am the light of the world.
CAN you see the light, the light that shines
I am the light of the world. I am the light of the world
Can you see the light, the light of God?
I am the light of the world. I am the light of the world.
Arise and shine for thy light has come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.
