We Be the Light

Let your Light shine (let your Light shine)
Matthew, chapter 5, verses 14 through 16

Turn on the lights... it's just like the opposite of what Teddy's done
But it's empowered by God, not by Edison
And it's the medicine, darkness, the sickness
A witness, my Light puts the sun out of bu'ness
And how do you stop it?! It got thousands of watts
Almost impossible, comparible to dousin' a toxic
Explosion, too bright for you to house in a box
With the dark, it's like squarin' off a mouse and an ox
No competition, you're goin' against the Light of the world
It's like puttin' Shaq against the height of a squirrel
Boom! Dark'll zoom when I step in the room
When it's illuminated, gloom'll fade and never resume
It won't stay, sin and evil is movin' away
We bring Jesus, the Life and the Truth and the Way
We represent, and kick the Gospel, and we're hidin' in God
Upright, the Light shinin', like a lightning rod...

We be the light!
Let your Light shine, like a million watter
Before men, show your works are proper
So they can see and then they gotta
Glorify your Papa... we be the light!
Let your Light shine, like a million watter
Before men, show your works are proper
So they can see and then they gotta
Glorify your Papa...

Yo, I got something to say with a Gospel sales pitch
Jesus died for you, so you'll see no hell's pit
But life eternal, it's better than makin' yourself rich
And we're the light He left on for ya, like Motel 6
Was bound, free now, then lost, now found
And mouthin' off, standin' out in a crowd
And shoutin' proud and loud on a mountain
The sound's then heard by thousands upon thousands
And countin', I'll tell it in a rap, 'cause I'm a rhymer
I'll even try to find a way to say it in drama
Jesus said spread it to the whole world, so I'ma
Tell everybody and they Mama... Huh!
You better know it! You gave me life,
And now I owe it
To glorify You, You're the Light,
I gotta glow it
Just like a candle in the dark,
Don't let me blow it
Since You want me to show 'em the way
Then I'ma show it! We the light!...

Let your Light shine, like a million watter
Before men, show your works are proper
So they can see and then they gotta
Glorify your Papa... we be the light!
Let your Light shine, like a million watter
Before men, show your works are proper
So they can see and then they gotta
Glorify your Papa...

Let it shine, Christian, you've been given the Light
He is the Holy Spirit, and He's livin' inside
We never have to worry about changin' the bulb
Long as we're prayin' and obeyin' and displayin' the love
If we're walkin' upright, and we stay in the Will
Of God, the Light'll shine, though we ain't payin' the bill
And a lamp or candle should sit on a stand, so
It can give light and shine, like a godly example
A model to be followed, so I know God'll push you
To the forefront, He don't want you hidden under a bushel
Your Light shines through your lifestyle,
How you gone behave?
If you never said a word, would they know you saved?
In a silent movie, or if you were a mime or mute
Would your life show any sign of fruit?
Yo dark! Our Light'll stomp your butt in the dust
Bling bling ain't got nothin' on us... Feel me?
We be the Light!

Let your Light shine, like a million watter
Before men, show your works are proper
So they can see and then they gotta
Glorify your Papa... we be the light!
Let your Light shine, like a million watter
Before men, show your works are proper
So they can see and then they gotta
Glorify your Papa... we be the light!

Jesus said, "Ye are the Light of the world
A city that's set on a hill cannot be hid
Neither do men light a candle
And put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick
And it giveth light unto all that are in the house
Then in verse 16
Jesus told us what we got to do
Uh, He said uh...
Let your Light so shine before men
That they may see your good works
And glorify your Father, which is in Heaven
Let your Light so shine before men
That they may see your good works
And glorify your Father, which is in Heaven
Let your Light so shine before men
That they may see your good works
And glorify your Father, which is in Heaven
Let your Light so shine before men
That they may see your good works
And glorify your Father, which is in Heaven
