Hey everyone, it's @sampraise77, and for Hive Open Mic Week 263, I did a cover of Light Has Come by Sandra Boakye-Duah. If you know the song, feel free to sing along!

This song carries strong Christian themes, especially about Jesus as the light of the world. It takes a cue from John 8:12 where Jesus says, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me won’t walk in darkness but will have the light of life.” Sandra’s message is clear and uplifting, celebrating the hope and joy that comes when Jesus is in our lives.

The phrase Light has come gets repeated, serving as a powerful statement. It signifies God’s presence breaking into the struggle and confusion we often face. In this song, light stands for truth, salvation, and hope. It’s all about breaking free from darkness—whether it’s spiritually, emotionally, or physically.

From the get-go, the song has a joyful vibe. It really captures a sense of victory, suggesting that the arrival of light ends all the sadness and despair. Sandra uses her music to not just celebrate but also to encourage everyone to embrace Christ’s light and steer clear of darkness.

The lyrics also touch on personal growth. When you meet God’s light, your life can transform. The song urges us to rise up and shine, echoing Isaiah 60:1, which says, “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.” It’s a call to act, reminding us to reflect that light to the world.

Musically, it blends African gospel with contemporary worship, making it relatable to many cultures. Sandra’s powerful voice adds emotion, turning the song into a real spiritual moment. It fits perfectly in worship settings, especially during celebrations or times of spiritual renewal.

In short, Light Has Come is more than just a song; it's a powerful reminder that even in the darkest times, God’s light shines through. It inspires faith and the courage to live out God’s purpose. For Christians, it reminds us that Christ has come, and with Him, we can achieve victory.
