Colton Dixon shines on the show of fellow American Idol alum, Kelly Clarkson. This performance of his song “My Light” from his new album, Canvas, proclaims the hope we find in God.
“When I’m out of hope, so lost and afraid
When I’m in the dark and I can’t seem to find my way
When I’m feelin’ lonely in the dead of the night
I remember the promise
You will be my light.”
This song reminds us that God is our light. He helps us find our way and gives us the strength to keep going. As Psalms 119:105 tells us
“Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.”
This song does more than give us advice to follow God’s light, it brings us straight to God. It sings like a prayer, praising Him for who He is and then focuses our heart on following Him.
We love how Colton uses his talent and opportunity to shine his light. His music shares the hope of Jesus and encourages us to follow God’s light and to reflect it to those who we encounter every day.
