[Verse]
Snow on the sidewalk thick on my shoes
Streetlight halos glow on the pews tonight
My heart is a siren for you for you
Neon on the diner says open all night
But the brightest sign I see is that old star breaking through
[Prechorus]
I been running on empty on doubt on delay
Then your name hit my chest like a drum and it blew the dark away
[Chorus]
Light it up Jesus light it up Jesus
From the manger to my veins set my frozen soul on fire
Light it up Jesus light it up Jesus
Every heartbeat like a kick drum higher and higher
Glory on the rooftop glory in the choir
Light it up Jesus
[Verse 2]
Kids in the back row whisper and laugh
Candy cane wrappers stuck to the hymnbook spine
I am a cracked bell still you ring my past in half
Turn my thin little carol to a battle line
You take my off key story make it golden make it chaff
[Prechorus]
All the doubts that I carried like bricks in the snow
Start falling off my shoulders when the song begins to grow
[Chorus]
Light it up Jesus light it up Jesus
From the manger to my veins set my frozen soul on fire
Light it up Jesus light it up Jesus
Every heartbeat like a kick drum higher and higher
Glory on the rooftop glory in the choir
Light it up Jesus
