Than any star in the sky
Your light shining
Through the dark of the night
Jesus forever
I find all that I am
In Your love, love, love
In every step that I take

You have called me by name
Jesus forever
I find all that I am
In Your love, love, love
Let the music play
Hear us praise Your name
See the darkness fade
Dance the night away
We have found our place
In the Savior's grace
Dance the night away
Your light is taking over me
I find freedom
In the light of Your love
Everlasting
You are more than enough
Jesus forever

In the first verse, the singer is admiring Jesus' shining light, which is even brighter than the stars in the sky. This light illuminates and guides the singer through dark times. The chorus repeats that Jesus is the source of this love and light, and that the singer finds all of their being in it. The second verse goes on to say that Jesus is always present in the singer's life, guiding them and showing them love. They have been given freedom through the light of Jesus' love, and they recognize that His love is more than enough to sustain them forever.
The bridge of the song invites others to join in praising Jesus and letting His light shine through them. The darkness fades away and they dance in the night, fully embraced and accepted by their Savior. The repetition of "Your light is taking over me" in the outro emphasizes how the singer has been fully transformed by the love and light of Jesus, and they are now a vessel of that light themselves, spreading it to others.
Overall, the song is a celebration of freedom, love, and faith in the midst of darkness. It encourages listeners to let go of their worries and doubts and embrace the light of Jesus, which shines brighter than anything else in the world.
