Lyrics:

[English]

My life before You

I was a flame burning down

I was burning out

But You knew me better

For You there was never a doubt

God, since You gave me life

Something was different, I Knew it the instant

You put the light in me

The spark, the shot to the heart

You are the hope that leads me out of the dark

You let Your love shine down

So that the world could see

You put the light in me

The light, you put the light in me

You are the Maker, you tell the sun when to rise

I'm just a house on a hill

But You make me brighter than all the stars in the sky

Keep me from growing dim

'Cause in Your perfection, I'm just a reflection

So pull me closer to You

I'll catch like a fire and I'll hold You higher

'Cause You put the light in me

The spark, the shot to the heart

You are the hope that leads me out of the dark

You let Your love shine down

So that the world could see

You put the light in me

The light, you put the light in me

I'll raise it high, I'll let it show

From the rooftops down to streets below

In day and night, You will be known

And all will see

You put the light in me

...

'Cause You put the light in me

The spark, the shot to the heart

You are the hope that leads me out of the dark

You let Your love shine down

So that the world could see

You put the light in me

The light, you put the light in me

...
