Petra's 'Father of Lights' is a rock-influenced Christian song that reflects on God as the source of all light and truth. The lyrics acknowledge God's creation of the sun and moon, and express a desire for His light to penetrate the hidden, dark areas of the singer's life. The song emphasizes that there is no shadow in God and asks Him to search and reveal any corners kept from Him, often due to fear and pride. It encourages letting God's light shine to chase away darkness, conveying themes of confession, surrender, and the transformative power of God's presence.

You made the sun to light the day
You made the moon to light the night
You made me your son to light the world
But I still need more of Your light
Father of lights shine down on me
In all the dark places I'll never see
Only your light can take the night from me
There is no shadow under You
There is no place darkness has to hide
So search me and show me where You've never been
Help me let Your light inside
So let it shine, shine, shine
And it will chase away the darkness
Let it shine, shine, shine
And it will chase away the night
Just when I think there is no more darkness
Just when I think I've seen all Your light
You show me a corner I've kept from You
My fear and pride keeps it out of sight
