Song - Learning To Be The Light

Growing up my mom would take me to gospel concerts, saying that I hated gospel music was an understatement, I still don't like it.  I did not know much about Christian music and only really remember liking Stryper, a rock band.  If you were like me and didn't get into the church music I hope you will listen to the music and lyrics of the songs now.  There is everything from ballads to heavy metal Christian bands.  There are many stations online so all you have to do is seek them out.

This is one of those songs that at the very start just about knocks me down as if a giant wave hits me out of nowhere.  Tears are easy to come by with this one.  The first section of this song is unlike the rest and it blows me away, it is music perfection in my book.  The music is fantastic and the lyrics are amazing. 

I am putting my favorite parts in bold. 

Learning To Be The Light by Newworldson

When the stars came crashing down
In tiny pieces to the ground
I was all alone down here
Trapped beneath the atmosphere
Then I thought somebody called my name
I spun around and caught a flame
Gave in to a God I didn't know
And now everything is falling into place
A brand new life is calling and I owe it all to grace

It's so much brighter living in Your world
Savior what You did for me
You gave me something I want everyone to see
When we stumble and it all goes wrong
Only You can make it right
So I say oh oh oh oh oh
I'm learning to be the light

Whoa-oa
Whoa-oa-oa
I'm learning to be the light
Whoa-oa
Whoa-oa-oa

When a heart is cold as ice
You can't melt it with advice
No one wants to listen to
A list of things they shouldn't do
So I build a city on a hill
And I light a candle on the sill
Knowing You'll be always knocking at the door
Oh God I just want to love on everyone
All I have is Yours to give so let the people come

It's so much brighter living in Your world
Savior what You did for me
You gave me something I want everyone to see
When we stumble and it all goes wrong
Only You can make it right
So I say oh oh oh oh oh
I'm learning to be the light
Whoa-oa
Whoa-oa-oa
I'm learning to be the light
Whoa-oa
Whoa-oa-oa
I'm learning to be the light that makes the shadows hide
The light that breaks the curse of pride
The light that takes the weary in its arms

When it all came crashing down
There was only darkness all around
But in the distance I could see a flame

It's so much brighter living in Your world
Savior what You did for me
You gave me something I want everyone
I mean everyone to see
When we stumble and it all goes wrong
Only You can make it right
So I say oh oh oh oh oh
I'm learning to be the light

Whoa-oa
Whoa-oa-oa
I'm learning to be the light
Whoa-oa
Whoa-oa-oa
I'm learning to be the light
Whoa-oa
Whoa-oa-oa
I'm learning to be the light
Whoa-oa
Whoa-oa-oa
I'm learning to be the light
