If We Are The Light by Deniece Williams is my contribution to this year's Halloween. (We love being topical on this channel). From the first time I heard this song, it has challenged me. I hope it does you too. "If we are the light, why is the world so dark?" I KNOW there are millions of committed Christians the world over who are doing their part to bring God's kingdom on earth, but you don't have to look too deeply to realise, we need a lot more labourers in the vineyard.

I know a few churches with an active counter Halloween program. They are doing simple things like giving out a tract with a statement like "Jesus, the Light of the World" on it. I immediately started to think about songs that reflect that, and this one sprang into my mind. Jesus IS the Light of the World, and we as His followers, need to reflect that. The flame from even a tiny candle makes a difference to a dark room. :))

Lyrics

God said they would know us
By the love we would show one to another
We must show compassion
Loving others as ourselves
Desperation surrounds us
And we choose to pass right by
Yet we say it astounds us
When the needy question why

God said that a city on a hill
Cannot hide the light that is shining
We must be examples
So the truth can be revealed
There are so many reasons
People work in the name of the Lord
Yet there's spiritual treason
When His mercy is ignored

If we are the light
Then why is the world so dark?
If we are the light
Then why, oh, why
Why does the world keep falling apart
If we are the light
Then why is the world so dark?

God said He would judge us
By the love we display one to another
We prove that we love Him
When we help the least of these
There are lives in the balance
How can we ignore their cry?
We have so many talents
There can be no alibi

If we are the light
Then why is the world so dark?
If we are the light
Then why, oh, why
Oh, why does the world keep falling apart?
If we are the light
Then why is the world so dark?
If we are the light
Then why, oh, why
Oh, why does the world keep falling apart?

There are lives in the balance
How can we ignore their cry?
God gave so many talents
There can be no alibi
If we are the light
Then why is the world so dark?
Oh...
Tell me, if we are the light
Then why is the world so dark?
If we are the light
(Why is the world so dark?)
