Oh, the beauty of the King
You make righteous those who seek
You have written and redeemed my story

Let my eyes see Your kingdom shine all around
Let my heart overflow with passion for Your name
Let my life be a song, revealing who You are
For You are salt and light

Oh, the love that set me free
You bring hope to those in need
You have written and redeemed my story

Let my eyes see Your kingdom shine all around
Let my heart overflow with passion for Your name
Let my life be a song, revealing who You are

For You are salt and light
You are love's great height
You are deep and wide
A consuming fire

You are salt and light
You are love's great height
You are deep and wide
A consuming fire

Let my eyes see Your kingdom shine all around
Let my heart overflow with passion for Your name
Let my life be a song, revealing who You are
For You are salt and light

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Salt & Light" by Lauren Daigle are a reflection of how she wants to live her life for God. At the very core of the song is the belief that God is both the salt and light of the world. He brings flavor and seasoning to our lives, makes us thirst for more, and also illuminates our path, guides us to truth and shows the way through the darkness.


The song talks about how the beauty of the King redeems our stories and makes us righteous when we seek Him. This line implies that despite any mistakes or shortcomings, God is the one who gives us a fresh start, shows us how to live a righteous life, and is the author of our redemption. Lauren then goes on to express her desire to see God's kingdom shine around her. To her, this means she wants to be the light and spread the word of God wherever she goes.


In the second half of the song, Lauren talks about how God is the one who sets us free and brings hope to those in need. The line "let my life be a song, revealing who You are" is a poignant reminder that faith is not just something we hold on to, but rather something that we should live out loud. Finally, the repetition of "For you are salt and light" makes it clear that the central message of the song is that God is the true source of guidance, hope, and goodness.

Sal & Luz

Oh a beleza do rei
Você faz justos aqueles que procuram
Você escreveu e redimiu a minha história

Deixe meus olhos verem Teu reino brilhar em tudo em volta
Deixe meu coração transbordar de paixão por Teu nome
Que a minha vida seja uma música, revelando quem Você é
Pois Você é o sal & luz

Oh o amor que me libertou
Você traz esperança para os necessitados
Você escreveu e redimiu a minha história

Pois você é o sal & luz
Você é amor em grande altura
Você é profundo e extenso
Um fogo que consome
