From the album Joy comes in the morning
About This Song
The closer gathers the whole EP into one sunrise: from the night into the morning, from the valley to the sky. What began with weeping in track one ends with a people dancing in eternal life — children of the light, carrying holy fire, shining because the Risen One turned the dark to light.
Devotional
"Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father" (Matthew 13:43).
Jesus said that about the harvest at the end of the age — the day when everything hidden is brought into the light and His people shine like He did on the mountain.
But the shining starts now. "You are the light of the world... let your light shine before others" (Matthew 5:14–16). Forever begins tonight: every heartbeat a witness, every breath a song of praise.
Reflect: The song calls believers "children of the light" (1 Thessalonians 5:5). Where has your light been dimmed lately — and what would it look like to shine there this week?
Lyrics
[Intro] From the night into the morning From the valley to the sky Jesus, You have brought us through Now forever we shine [Verse 1] I was walking through the shadows But Your light was leading me Every tear became a river Flowing into victory I was searching for a reason You became my melody Now my heart is singing louder Jesus, You have set me free [Pre-Chorus] The night is gone, the day has come Your love has won, Your love has won The chains are gone, the fear has fled We live in Christ, the risen Head [Chorus] Forever we shine, shine, shine In the light of the Lord most high Forever we rise, rise, rise With our hands lifted to the sky Jesus alive, alive, alive You have turned the dark to light Forever we shine, shine, shine We are dancing in His light [Verse 2] You have taken every sorrow You have washed away the shame Now we carry holy fire Burning brightly in Your name Every heartbeat is a witness Every breath a song of praise We will tell of Your salvation All our nights and all our days [Pre-Chorus] The day has come, Your love has won Your love has won The chains are gone, the fear has fled We live in Christ, the risen Head [Chorus] Forever we shine, shine, shine In the light of the Lord most high Forever we rise, rise, rise With our hands lifted to the sky Jesus alive, alive, alive You have turned the dark to light Forever we shine, shine, shine We are dancing in eternal life [Bridge] You are the Alpha, You are the End You are my Saviour, You are my Friend You are the promise, You are the way You are the sunrise after the rain No more darkness, no more night We are children of the light No more sorrow, no more shame Jesus Christ forever reigns [Final Chorus] Forever we shine, shine, shine In the light of the Lord most high Forever we rise, rise, rise With our hands lifted to the sky Jesus alive, alive, alive You have turned the dark to light Forever we shine, shine, shine We are dancing in eternal life [Outro] From the night into the morning From the valley to the sky Jesus, You have brought us through Now forever we shine Forever, forever Forever we shine
