&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;When darkness overtakes the godly, light will come bursting in. (Psalm 112:4, NLT)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;God wants His glory to be seen on you. He wants you to stand out in the crowd. He wants you to be so blessed that everyone around you can see His goodness on you! So keep standing, keep believing, keep hoping and keep declaring His Word because His light is going to come bursting in!&lt;/p&gt;

I waste my breath with every song&lt;br/&gt;
I bring an empty voice, a hollow noise&lt;br/&gt;
If I speak with a silver tongue&lt;br/&gt;
Convince a crowd but don’t have love&lt;br/&gt;
I leave a bitter taste with every word I say&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So let my life be the proof,&lt;br/&gt;
The proof of Your love&lt;br/&gt;
Let my love look like You and what You’re made of&lt;br/&gt;
How You lived, how You died&lt;br/&gt;
Love is sacrifice&lt;br/&gt;
So let my life be the proof,&lt;br/&gt;
The proof of Your love&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If I give &lt;br/&gt;
To a needy soul but don’t have love then who is poor?&lt;br/&gt;
It seems all the poverty is found in me&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So let my life be the proof,&lt;br/&gt;
The proof of Your love&lt;br/&gt;
Let my love look like You and what You’re made of&lt;br/&gt;
How You lived, how You died&lt;br/&gt;
Love is sacrifice&lt;br/&gt;
Oh, let my life be the proof,&lt;br/&gt;
The proof of Your love&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When it’s all said and done&lt;br/&gt;
When we sing our final song&lt;br/&gt;
Only love remains&lt;br/&gt;
Only love remains&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Let my life be the proof,&lt;br/&gt;
The proof of Your love&lt;br/&gt;
Let my love look like You and what You’re made of&lt;br/&gt;
How You lived, how You died&lt;br/&gt;
