Story Behind The Song
Jesus told us to "not hide our light under a bushel." I want to be the kind of person who makes a small positive difference in this world in the way He told us to.
Song Description
A reflection on "joy" - so many people search for peace and contentment in many different ways. A person who knows Jesus as Savior has the joy that only comes from that releationship and security, This song encourages believers to not "hide" this joy and the message of good news that God loves us and He has a plan for us.

Lyrics
NEVER HIDE YOUR LIGHT words and music by David Brandt
VERSE 1
People Talk but they don?t say much and it?s always been that way/ News, blues, dues or they?re talking ?bout the weather, talking ?bout the weather/ People walk a million miles for joy in this life/ but life?s a mess you won?t be blessed if you try to hide your light
CHORUS 1
He made the lame to walk/ He gave the blind their sight/ so even if you?re feeling shy - don?t hide your light!
VERSE 2
People sing but the songs ain?t much and that?s really nothing new/ Moon, june, croon - or we?re talking ?bout the weather, talking ?bout the weather/ I would walk a thousand miles and pray all through the night to show to you eternal truth - I?m not gonna hide my light
CHORUS 2
He raised the dead to walk, He gave the blind their sight/ So if He lives inside of you - Never hide your light
VERSE 2
People called Him a prophet or a teacher and it?s always been that way/ But in Daniel, Isaiah and Exodus He is talking ?bout forever, talking ?bout forever/ Jesus walked a thousand miles and died without a fight/ But for all men he rose again to fill the world with Light!
(CHORUS 1)
He raised the dead to walk - He turns your sins to white/ so if He lives inside of you/ Never hide your light!/ So you get up and walk! / Search for the Truth tonight!/ Hallelu! your sins forgiven you! Never hide your light/ (CHORUS 1)
