Some awful Purdy music sees God-as-Man as light, especially around the holidays. We won’t sample every song which praises the big luminescence (which is a whole lotta the hymnal), but let’s tip that bushel and see a bit.
Point of Grace (feat. John David Webster) replaces Jesus with illumination in “Let There be Light” a showstopper of pop gospel.
“Candlelight Carol” mentions fires and stars and candles, so it’s taking the light of the Lord variously seriously. Mary Chapin Carpenter does this best with gentle folk observations.
Of the many, many “Light of the Stable” renditions I prefer the mighty grace of Emmy Lou Harris. That’s power folk music.
