Headlight
Elevation Youth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a headlight shining in dark of night
You're the hope that's given me brand new life
You are all I'll ever need
Though my heart ran far You were always there
Like a headlight guiding my every step
You're the hope that's leading me back again
Your endless light is in this place
Every shadow hides as we lift Your praise
'Cause salvation's light is here to stay
Forever lighting up the way
Now we walk by faith and not by sight
With our hope secure in Your endless light
There is no more fear, no need to hide
You are all I'll ever need
Your endless light is in this place
Every shadow hides as we lift Your praise
'Cause salvation's light is here to stay
Forever lighting up the way
We lift our eyes towards the light that drove the night away
No shame can hide beneath Your light
You trampled sin and grave
Your endless light is in this place
Every shadow hides as we lift Your praise
'Cause salvation's light is here to stay
Forever lighting up the way
The lyrics of "Headlight" by Elevation Youth describe a sense of comfort, guidance, and hope that the singer feels because of their faith in God. The image of a headlight shining in the dark of night is used to depict the steadfastness of God's presence in the singer's life, even when they have strayed or lost their way. The chorus reinforces this sentiment, stating that God's "endless light" is what leads them back to a sense of security and purpose. The lines "You trampled sin and grave" suggest that the singer's faith is rooted in the belief that Jesus' death and resurrection provide salvation and the ultimate defeat of death itself. Throughout the song, there is a strong emphasis on the idea of light as a driving force for goodness and positivity, with shadows and fear being overcome by the bright presence of God.
In addition to the religious themes of the song, there is also a sense of communal celebration and worship. The repeated phrase "Every shadow hides as we lift Your praise" seems to suggest a collective effort to focus on God's light and goodness, with everyone coming together to share in this sense of joy and optimism. The final lines of the song, "Forever lighting up the way", reinforce this idea that faith provides a lasting sense of guidance and direction.
