Lights Out

This song challenges believers who retreat from the world while awaiting Christ's return. It paints vivid pictures of those who "turn the lights out," board up windows, and disconnect from their mission, convinced they're not of this world for long. The lyrics mock a passive, fearful faith—hiding behind shutters, whining about the times, or climbing to a rooftop with "mathematical proof" of the Second Coming. The repeated question, "Who do you think you are?" cuts through self-important speculation about dates and times. Instead, the chorus delivers a rousing call to stay engaged: don't shut down or punch out until the trumpet sounds and the battle is won. The song critiques a "faith under glass"—a Christianity kept safe and separate—and urges active perseverance. It echoes Jesus' command to stay watchful and productive until the end, not to retreat into isolation or idle waiting. The final image of the Father saying "Well Done" points to a reward for faithful endurance, not for those who merely calculated the end times. This is a stirring reminder that hope in Christ's return should fuel mission, not excuse withdrawal.
