Carry the Torch
Rudy Micelli Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And they don't even know the danger they're in
We who are called to His glorious light
Must shine like a beacon of love in the night.
We will carry the torch
We will lift high the flame
We will march through the darkness
With the light of His name
Be seen by the world
We will carry the torch of the Lord.
No foe can defeat us. There's no need to fear.
The Lord goes before us to make all way clear
With our hearts all aflame
Let this fire be spread
To give light to the darkness
And life to the dead.
We will carry the torch
We will lift high the flame
We will march through the darkness
With the light of His name
To the glory of God
Be seen by the world
We will carry the torch of the Lord.
The torch is our Savior
The hope for all men
And as we lift him up
We will draw them to Him.
We will carry the torch
We will lift high the flame
We will march through the darkness
With the light of His name
To the glory of God
Be seen by the world
We will carry the torch of the Lord.
We will carry the torch...
To the glory of God
Be seen by the world
We will carry the torch of the Lord.
We will carry the torch of the Lord.
Rudy Micelli's song Carry the Torch emphasizes the message of Christianity that followers of Jesus Christ are called to share the light of Christ with the world. The world is lost in darkness and sin, and many do not even realize the danger they are in. Those who have been saved by Christ are called to be beacons of love in the darkness, shining the light of God's love and truth for everyone to see. The lyrics highlight the certainty of victory over sin and darkness because God has already gone before us and made our way clear.
The lyrics are a call to action for Christians to remain committed, follow the light of Christ, and share that light with others. Christians are encouraged to embrace a 'carry the torch' mentality where they are determined and passionate to share the light of Christ, the hope for all people. The torch is a metaphor for the Savior who is the light of the world, and as followers of Christ, we are to lift him up so that all people might be drawn to him.
The song's message remains relevant and enduring for all Christians since its release despite recording and releasing decades back. It has become an anthem for evangelism and sharing the Gospel message. It is also well-known within Christian communities, and many congregations often include it in their worship services. Carry the Torch has had a lasting impact on people worldwide and continues to touch hearts with its message of hope.
