Keep The Light On    

When all the glitters gone and all the songs are sung

remember the reason why,  keep the light on.

When all the sales are sold, and all the stores are closed

remember the reason why,  keep the light on.

Keep the light on, in your heart and mind

Keep the light on, never let it die

Keep the light on, through the brand new year

Keep the light on, keep Him near and dear

Keep the light on, keep Him set apart

Keep the light on, exalt Him in your heart

Keep the light on, never lose the hope,

Keep the light on.

The Christmas tree is put away, and all the families gone there way

Jesus the reason why, keep the light on

This baby child born King, to whom we all serve and sing.

Year round He’s still the Prince of Peace, so keep the light on

This baby child born King, to whom we all serve and sing.

Year round He’s still the Prince of Peace keep the light on

Until that day has come, when Jesus takes us home

Let’s fix our eyes on him, keep the light on

     Several years ago one week after Christmas, my pastor at Hope Chapel asked me to write a song based on the concept that a Christian doesn't celebrate "Christmas" only during the Christmas season but that we are called to "keep the light" of Jesus "on" throughout the whole year.

     The word light in the bible can refer to many different ideas but the one that I like to make reference to in this case has to do with using light to expose darkness. 

      Ephesian 5:11 And do not have fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness; instead, expose them.   We've all done something under the cover of darkness because we don't want to be caught.  To keep the light on then also ask us to call out those things that are evil. That's why 50% of all money raised will go to ministries and organizations that "bring light" to our youth. The light of help for those youths who don't have the support at home and the light of expose,  to shed light on those who practice the evil business of the sex trade and human trafficking and to give those victims shelter and the love of Christ.

As a father of 2 girls, my heart goes out to them. 

Matthew 5:14 You are the light of the world. You cannot hide a city that has been built upon a mountain
