    Behind The Song: Matt Redman Shares The Heart Behind His Christmas Song “These Christmas Lights”

    By Abby Carpenter | Christian News | 0 comment | 12 December, 2017 | 1

    This week’s featured song story comes to us from Matt Redman. We’re excited to share with you the story behind his original Christmas song “These Christmas Lights.”

    The song “These Christmas Lights” is a cry to say that all these lights are sparkling around us at a time like this at Christmas, but our prayer is that they might shine for You. So often Christmas becomes about other stuff that we can get so consumed by it, some of the commercial side. And if we’re not careful Christ gets a little bit shoved away from the center of praise, moved over to the side but we want to bring him back to the center. It says in this song, “we hold a flame in our hearts now, say a prayer that in this world all these lights, these Christmas lights will shine for You and You alone.” – Matt Redman

    “These Christmas Lights” Lyrics

    [Verse 1]
    All the lights, shining brightly
    As the choir of, angels sing
    Singing praise, now in the highest
    At the birth of, Christ the King

    Yes all the lights, are shining brightly
    As the choir of, angels sing
    Singing praise, now in the highest
    At the birth of, Christ the King

    [Chorus]
    Open my eyes; O heart believe
    The wonder of, that Christmas night
    Be born in me

    [Verse 2]
    Sing again, the sacred song of
    How that star lit, up the sky
    And how this world, lost in the darkness
    Felt the hope of, Heaven’s light

    [Chorus]
    Open my eyes; O heart believe
    The wonder of, that Christmas night
    Be born in me

    Open my eyes; O heart believe
    The wonder of, that Christmas night
    Be born in me

    [Bridge]
    All the lights are, shining brightly
    At the glory, of the King
    All the lights are, shining brightly
    For the glory, of Your Name

    All the lights are, shining brightly
    At the glory, of the King
    All the lights are, shining brightly
    For the glory, of Your Name

    [Interlude]

    [Verse 3]
    We hold a flame, in our hearts now
    Say a prayer that, in this world
    All these lights, these Christmas lights will
    Shine for You, and You alone
    You alone …

    [Bridge]
    All the lights are, shining brightly
    At the glory, of the King
    All the lights are, shining brightly
    For the glory, of Your Name

    All the lights are, shining brightly
    At the glory, of the King
    All the lights are, shining brightly
    For the glory, of Your Name

    [Outro]
    Lord all the lights are, shining brightly
    For the glory; of Your Name
    Oh let them shine, let them shine
    For the glory of Your Name …
