Chant:
Shine bright!
Shine Christ!

Verse 1: Mac the Doulos
Would you light a lamp and hide it under a basket (NO)/
So we shouldn’t have cats who are Christians trying to mask it/
If you’re redeemed, I hope you’re listening/
Let your light shine Matthew 5:16/
And if you’re saved make the world break out the shades/
Shine the light of Christ. Watch darkness get out the way/
Model your life after the King’s spitting image/
Follow the Word of God and everything written in it/
I’m trying to be the salt preserving the society/
But when the trump blows, you can say goodbye to me/
‘Til then got to bear witness, that’s the mission/
Kats should look and be like "now that’s a Christian!!!"/
The purpose for living is to worship the risen/
It’s a relationship with Jesus not a worthless religion/
Wherever light exists, darkness exists/
Believers have the Holy Spirit…someone evil can’t mess with/
When in a room lost in darkness, you always turn on the lights/
But we’re doomed lost in darkness ‘til we’re turned on to Christ/
You get the parallel/
The gospel is as real as it gets. It ain’t no fairytale. Shine your light!!!

Chant:

Hook:
We let our light so shine in the dark for men/
A city on a hill that won’t conform to sin/
Won’t give in, Jesus reigns within/
Eternal watts and we’re amped. We can’t be dim/
Let your light so shine in the dark for men/
A city on a hill that won’t conform to sin/
Don’t give in, Jesus reigns within/
Eternal watts and you’re amped. You can’t be dim.

Verse 2: IZ-REAL
We stuck in hot pursuit of Christ’s attributes/
Reflecting proof we’re salt and there’s flavor too/
We got sick of the wickedness in the midst of this/
Sin sick world now we’re activist for truth/
A light of the world in darkness/
He’s the flame call me candle stick light the wick/
God’s workmanship once ties were split/
But Christ evened things up like my ends were clipped/
And now were ready to ignite the fire/
But more important to seek Christ is the heart’s desire/
Rooted in truth live in grace as heads inquire/
We become a spark in darkness exposing required/
Info they must know Christ the loop hole/
God made flesh in exchange for their lost soul/
The salt of the earth for all that its worth/
I got to spit the gospel accurate in every verse/
Live out the word passionate in every work/
God was lifted up and now he adds to the church/
So I display the Son’s rays in the last days/
And co-labor with my partner and preach one way/
God’s way won’t play/
Reflect the light of Christ in a dark age won’t wear the lampshade/
Got faith won’t sway/
Reflect the light of Christ in a dark age don’t wear your lampshade
