Faithfully Thinking: Out Loud! | Episode 23: When the Light Won’t Leave You Alone
This week, Advent isn’t whispering.It’s waking you.
When God shines Light on your life, He’s not decorating your December —He’s calling you out of the fog and back into the fight.
In this episode, we talk about what happens when the Light gets personal, why spiritual sleep is so dangerous,how faith forms your shield when truth hits hard,and how to stand steady when God exposes the places you’ve ignored.
Then we take it deeper with a brand-new anthem,a fresh Armor Jingle,and a battle cry to send you into the week awake, aligned, and armored.
If you’re ready for Advent to feel like spiritual ignition instead of seasonal sentiment, you’re in the right place.
Lyrics
“LIGHT, COME WAKE ME”
[VERSE 1]Turn the Light on in my heart, Lord,Shine where I’ve been hiding.Break the fog that’s held me down,I’m done with fear-deciding.Call me out of shadowed places,Where old lies tried to claim me.Wake the part of me that’s weary —The part that faintly prays, “Lord, save me.”
[CHORUS]Wake me, Lord, with holy fire,Let every shadow flee.Your truth is calling out my name —Let Your Light awaken me.
[VERSE 2]Show the wounds I learned to carry,Even ones I masked with grace.Shine on, what I tried to manage,What I never meant to face.Your mercy doesn’t rush or shame —It lifts me when I’m shaken.Every time Your Light breaks in,Another sleeping part awakens.
[CHORUS]Wake me, Lord, with holy fire,Let every shadow flee.Your truth is calling out my name —Let Your Light awaken me.
[VERSE 3]If there’s a fear still in my bones,Shine through it like the dawn.If I’ve made peace with lesser things,Lord, break that treaty — make me strong.You didn’t come to decorate,You came to set me free.So shine on every hidden placeThat keeps me from my destiny.
[VERSE 4]Let courage rise within my chest,Let clarity outrun the night.Let faith move me when comfort calls,And guide me by Your steady Light.Let every lie fall powerless,Let every truth stand tall.Wake my spirit fully, Lord —I’m ready for Your call.
[BRIDGE]Shine in me, break the sleep from my eyes.Call my name till the old self dies.Every corner You touch comes alive—I’m not afraid of Your Light,I’m not afraid of Your Light.
[OUTRO]Shine in me, move through me,Lead me where I need to be.Wake me, Lord —Your Light is victory.
Battle Cry
I rise in Your Light.I stand in Your truth.No shadow owns me.No lie defines me.
My shield is raised.My faith is steady.My heart is awake.And my spirit is ready.
The darkness retreats.The Light has come.I follow the King —His victory already won.
