  • My life before You
    I was a flame burning down
    I was burning out

    But You knew me better
    For You there was never a doubt
    God, since You gave me life
    Something was different, I knew it the instant
    You put the light in me

    This spark, this shot to the heart
    You are the hope that leads me out of the dark
    You let Your love shine down
    So that the world could see
    You put the light in me

    The light, You put the light in me
    The light, You put the light in me
    The light, You put the light in me
    The light, You put the light in me

    You are the Maker, you tell the sun when to rise
    I'm just a house on a hill
    But You make me brighter than all the stars in the sky
    Keep me from growing down

    'Cause in Your perfection, I'm just a reflection
    So pull me closer to You
    I catch like a fire and I'll hold You higher
    'Cause You put the light in me

    This spark, this shot to the heart
    You are the hope that leads me out of the dark
    You let Your love shine down
    So that the world could see
    You put the light in me

    The light, You put the light in me
    The light, You put the light in me
    The light, You put the light in me
    The light, You put the light in me

    I'll raise it high, I'll let it show
    From the rooftops down to the streets below
    In day and night, You will be known
    And all will see
    You put the light in me
    'Cause You put the light in me

    This spark, this shot to the heart
    You are the hope that leads me out of the dark
    You let Your love shine down
    So that the world could see
    You put the light in me

    The light, You put the light in me
    The light, You put the light in me
    The light, You put the light in me
    The light, You put the light in me Writer/s: BRANDON HEATH, DAN MUCKALA
