Contemporary Christian singer-songwriter Brandon Heath, who logged in two months atop Billboard’s Christian Songs chart a few short weeks ago with Your Love – the track is still in the Top 10! – has released the follow-up single from his stellar sophomore opus, Leaving Eden. The new song, Light In Me, has me tremendously excited, because it is one of the standout tracks from Leaving Eden. I love the verse melody on Light In Me; it’s so singable and anthemic. When you get to the chorus, it’s another singalong, and I can see hands raised throughout coliseums and stadiums as concertgoers slash worshipers thank God for putting the light in them. I’m really excited for the possibilities of Light In Me; I can see an easy Top 10 finish for this, and possibly Top 3. Am I hesitant about a #1 finish? Well, it depends on who the competition will be at the time, but methinks Brandon will handle that easily with aplomb.
Brandon Heath’s Light In Me comes highly recommended. Give it a listen and tell me if you agree with me.
LIGHT IN ME Lyrics
Brandon Heath
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 path is sure too hard
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 yo 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 path is sure too hard
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 path is sure too hard
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
