"Light Up The Sky" by The Afters

The song I'm blogging about this week is "Light Up The Sky" by The Afters. The Afters are a Christian rock band. The Afters started out in 2006. They have four albums and the song "Light Up The Sky" is off their recent album, Light Up The Sky. I like this song because the lyrics are motivational and inspirational. I like the chorus because God works in mysterious ways. Sometimes we think He's not there but when we least expect it, He always gives us wonderous things to show He's always truly there. One of my favorite lines in the song is "When stars are hiding in the clouds, I don't feel them shining. When I can't see beyond my doubt, there's silver lining." I think that means that even when we don't feel God and don't know where He is, even though He's always there, He's still present even when we don't feel Him. When we doubt some of the moments that happen in life, there's always something better to look forward to. When bad things happen in life, God always gives people hope.

When I’m feeling all alone with so far to go
The signs are nowhere on this road guiding me home
When the night is closing in
It’s falling on my skin
Oh God will You come close

Light, light, light up the sky
Light up the sky to show me You are with me
I, I, I can’t deny
Oh I can’t deny that You are right here with me
You’ve opened my eyes so I can see You all around me
Light, light, light up the sky
Light up the sky to show me You are with me

When stars are hiding in the clouds
I don’t feel them shining
When I can’t see beyond my doubt
There's silver lining
When I’ve almost reached the end
Like a flood You’re rushing in
Love is rushing in

Light, light, light up the sky
Light up the sky to show me You are with me
I, I, I can’t deny
Oh I can’t deny that You are right here with me
You’ve opened my eyes so I can see You all around me
Light, light, light up the sky
Light up the sky to show me You are with me

So I run straight to Your arms
You’re the bright and morning Sun
To show Your love, there’s nothing You won’t do

Light, light, light up the sky
You light up the sky to show me You are with me
I, I, I can’t deny
Oh I can’t deny that You are right here with me
You’ve opened my eyes so I can see You all around me
Light, light, light up the sky
Light up the sky to show me You are with me

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You are with me
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You are with me
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
