carry the light of the Lord
and let Him live in you
carry the light of the Lord
and you will shine like new!

carry His love in your heart and explore! ungh!
carry the light of the Lord
carry His love in your heart and explore! ungh!
carry the light of the Lord!

carry the light of the Lord
and let Him live in you
carry the light of the Lord
and you will shine like new!

carry His love in your heart and explore! ungh!
carry the light of the Lord
carry His love in your heart and explore! ungh!
carry the light of the Lord!

you will shine so bright
people will be curious, now
where does all that joy come from?
you will shine so bright
people will start to know all about your God
and about His Son!

carry the light of the Lord
and let Him live in you
carry the light of the Lord
and you will shine like new!

carry His love in your heart and explore! ungh!
carry the light of the Lord
carry His love in your heart and explore! ungh!
carry the light of the Lord!

our Lord shines so bright
we are not curious, no
we know where that joy comes from – yeah!
He shines so bright in us, that
people will HAVE to know all about our God, and about His Son!

carry the light of the Lord - and let Him live in you
carry the light of the Lord - and you will shine like new!

carry His love in your heart and explore! ungh!
carry the light of the Lord
carry His love in your heart and explore! ungh!
carry the light of the Lord!

"Carry the Light" is a mid-tempo, sing-along chorus about "shining the light of Christ" to a dark world. It's a simple song about "letting Christ live in you." It includes a grunt, which boys and men [in particular] love! Even if the boys won't sing and dance - they'll usually grunt! This song works great at live concerts, when Rob often brings Dads up from the audience with their kids to do the motions and grunt.

MUSICAL STYLE/SOUND: Acoustic band pop (acoustic guitar, drums, electric bass, electric guitar), campfire-rock, pop.

IF YOU'RE TEACHING:
- Representing Jesus Christ
- Evangelism
- Obedience
- Joy
- Purity

KEY LYRIC: "ungh!" [the grunt part]

LITTLE KNOWN FACT: God used this song [and three years' time] to turn some "bored 6th grade boys" into "9th graders who lead Kids' Worship"! Their KidMin Director didn't scold them for not singing and dancing - she just encouraged them to "keep grunting," and - in three years' time - they became High School freshmen who loved to sing, dance, and worship the One True God!
