[Intro]

C Am F C

[Verse 1]

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

Not since You gave me life

Something was different

I knew it the instant

You put the light in me

[Chorus]

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 can see

You put the light in me

Am C

The light, You put the light in me

G F

The light, You put the light in me

Am C

The light, You put the light in me

G C

The light, You put the light in me

[Verse 2]

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

C G

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

[Chorus]

F Am C

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

From the roof tops down to the

streets below

Am C

In day and night, You will be known

And all will see

You put the light in me

Am F

[Outro]

Cause you put the light in me
