It's a new day
Everything changed
When Your love came into the darkness
You sent the light of the Son
You sent the light of the Son
Wake up, open your eyes
No longer dead, we are alive
Rise up, children of light
Open the doors, go let it shine
There is freedom
In Your kingdom
For You Jesus, we will be dancing
Forever Your joy is our song
Forever Your joy is our song
Wake up, open your eyes
No longer dead, we are alive
Rise up, children of light
Open the doors, go let it shine
Song for the broken, let it shine
Into the shadows, let it shine
Hope for the whole world
Let it shine, let it shine
All over the place, come on, come on
Song for the broken, let it shine
Into the shadows, let it shine
Hope for the whole world
Let it shine, let it shine
Oh let it shine, here we go
Wake up, open your eyes
No longer dead, we are alive
Rise up, children of light
Open the doors, go let it shine
Wake up, open your eyes
No longer dead, we are alive
Rise up, children of light
Open the doors, go let it shine
It's a new day
Everything changed
When Your love came into the darkness
You sent the light of the Son
You sent the light of the Son

Kristian Stanfill and Passion Band's 'Children of Light' is an energetic worship anthem celebrating the transformative power of Christ's love. The song opens with the imagery of light breaking into darkness, symbolizing salvation and new life in Jesus. It calls believers to awaken from spiritual death, rise as children of light, and boldly share their faith with the world. The lyrics emphasize freedom, joy, and hope, encouraging listeners to let their light shine into brokenness and shadows. The repeated refrain 'let it shine' reinforces the mission to spread the gospel globally. Overall, it's a passionate declaration of identity in Christ and a call to live out that identity visibly.
