Kari Jobe - Somos la Luz Lyrics

“Somos la Luz” calls believers to live openly in the identity Christ gives them. The opening lines contrast hidden fears and secrets with belonging to the light, then urge a decisive departure from darkness. Its repeated declaration, “Somos la luz,” presents Christian witness as something visible: a life that shines before the world rather than remaining concealed. The lyrics connect that witness with wise use of time, freedom, love, and the name of Jesus.

The song then turns outward with a call to announce the gospel of peace. That emphasis joins identity and mission, suggesting that light is displayed both through faithful living and through proclamation of Christ. The central image closely echoes Jesus’ words in Matthew 5 about his followers being the light of the world. Ephesians also describes believers as light in the Lord and calls them to live accordingly. Christ remains the source of that light, receiving the song’s final exaltation as its message rises from encouragement to worship.
