(Intro – atmospheric, distant thunder, choir pads) Yeah... Kingdom on the rise... No hiding... Matthew Five... Let's go. Verse 1 Strike that wick—now the room ignites, Christ said, "I'm the Way, the Truth, the Light." John 8:12, never fades at night, Death couldn't dim what conquered the grave in might. You don't spark flames—you were dead in sin, Ephesians 2—He breathed life within. Grace lit the lamp, now the fire begins, In Christ alone—that's how we win. No basket over what Heaven designed, Truth ain't meant to stay confined. Salt of the earth, light for the blind, Every heartbeat screams, "The King still shines!" World says blend in, stay quiet, don't speak, Christ says stand firm when the culture gets weak. Power made perfect inside the meek, His strength on display every day of the week. Pre-Chorus Lift it high... Don't hide the flame... Every breath... Proclaims His Name... (Bass drop) Chorus Light it up! Let the whole world see! Not my glory— All for the King! Can't hide hope underneath fear, Christ is alive—His Kingdom is here! Lift that lamp till the darkness runs, Every knee bows to God's own Son! Light it up! Light it up! City on a hill that they can't cover up! Light it up! Light it up! To the glory of the Father— Raise it up! Verse 2 Mark chapter four—nothing stays concealed, Hidden things eventually get revealed. Every promise in the Savior sealed, Lion of Judah—every prophecy fulfilled. Hear the Word—don't let it pass, Good soil grows while the weeds collapse. Spirit moves—He breaks the past, Grace alone makes dead hearts last. Not by works—don't twist the text, Fruit comes after faith reflects. Branches live 'cause they stay connected, John Fifteen—every branch protected. Eyes wide open—Luke Eight speaks, Hear His voice every day of the week. Those with ears—listen deep, The Shepherd's calling His chosen sheep. Bridge Who lit the flame? Christ! Who broke the chains? Christ! Who bore our shame? Christ! Forever the same! Christ! No fear... No compromise... No shrinking back... We testify! Final Chorus Light it up! Till the nations know! Every tribe, Every tongue, Every soul! Shine so they don't remember me— Shine till they only see the King! Matthew Five— Let your light shine bright, So they glorify the Father tonight! Not my name... Not my fame... Only Christ forever reigns! Light it up! Light it up! The darkness never overcomes His love! Outro No lamp beneath a basket... No gospel left in silence... "Arise, shine; for your light has come, And the glory of the Lord has risen upon you." (Isaiah 60:1) Jesus lit the flame. The Spirit keeps it burning. The Father gets the glory. Forever. Amen.
