Contemporary Christian singer Ryan Stevenson is set to drop his debut EP, Yesterday Today Forever on BEC Recordings, with We Got the Light, a chillaxing mid-tempo track that reminds me a bit of the work of fellow Christian singer Shonlock, as the carrier single. According to Stevenson’s label, Ryan Stevenson “blends influences from soul, pop, and some of the great guitarists to create engaging acoustic guitar driven melodies.” A former acoustic partner of fellow Christian artist Paul Wright, Stevenson creates songs that focus on the difficulties faced by everyone in general, adding a vulnerability beyond his years and an encouraging spirit that will uplift many. We Got the Light is now picking up at Christian AC and I think Mr. Stevenson may very well soon have a hit on his hands.
WE GOT THE LIGHT Lyrics
Ryan Stevenson
Everybody’s got something they are trying to overcome
Everybody’s got a secret they have swept underneath the rug
Everybody has spoken a lie behind a brother
looking for a splinter in the eye of another
You don’t ever have to feel alone
Together we are on this road
We got the light that never fades
We’re gonna make it through today
Hold on
Hold on
We got the key to free your soul
Hold on
Hold on
Everybody is looking for love and looking for a meaning
Everybody is searching for reasons to keep believing
Everybody is hanging on trying to not let go
Just praying for the strength to carry this heavy load
You don’t ever have to feel alone
together we are on the same crazy road
We got the light that never fades
We’re gonna make it through today
Hold on
Hold on
We got the key to free your soul
Hold on
Hold on
We got the heart that brings the hope
We got the key to free your soul
Hold on
Hold on
It’s taking us over tonight
We’re handing You over our lives
It’s taking us over tonight
We’re handing you over our lives
We got the heart that brings the hope
We got the key to free your soul
Hold on
Hold on
We got the heart
We got the hope
We’ve got the key
You’ve got the soul
We’ve got the love coming from above
Gotta give it away to everyone
We got the light that never fades
We’re gonna make it through today
Hold on
Hold on
We got the key to free your soul
Hold on
Hold on
We got the heart that brings the hope
We got the key to free your soul
Hold on
Hold on
