The song, The Light Shines in the Darkness,
is the lead song for the album, Praise
the Lord, All Nations. The main theme of the
album is Christ as the Light to the Nations. Light is
a symbol of the knowledge of God, which is brought to
us in Jesus his Son. Our goal in University
Christian Outreach is to bring people to this
knowledge of God, which draws them out of futility
into purpose and hope. These songs anticipate the day
when the people of every nation will come to know the
Lord, and find their fulfilment and hope in him.
Joseph describes how the album of worship songs came
about: The songs on this album were written for use
during times of worship and praise in our campus
ministry and life together in Christian community. In
arranging them with a group of musicians and singers,
we sought a predominantly acoustic aesthetic, with
parts that were beautiful without being
self-consciously ornate - the goal being not to draw
attention to the music itself, but to the Lord to whom
it is offered. We hope you enjoy listening to them;
but even more, that they will help and inspire you to
pray and worship the Lord with joy and
thanksgiving.
