Story behind the song
This song is based upon Matthew 5:13-15
New International Version (NIV). Based upon a sermon on the mount by Jesus Christ
13 You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. 14 You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.

Salt and Light
Music Arranged by: Sarah Noll
Words: Neil Sleevi
Verse 1
Lord, set our hearts ablaze for You
So all the world will see
Your city set upon a hill
As bright as bright can be
Lord, flood our lives with heaven's light
Your fire in us a brilliant sight
A lighthouse guiding ships at night
In storms and troubled sea
Verse 2
Use us, Oh Lord, to salt the Earth
With Your eternal zest
Enable us to spread Your word
To those who are distressed
Let us dispense Your saving grace,
To season lives and leave Your trace,
A taste of You to change this place,
So many might be blessed
Verse 3
O Lord, we welcome and embrace
The daily help you bring
We pray that all we say and do
Will honor You as king
Let You alone be who we show
Revealing You so others know
That You're our inner peace and glow
And You're our cause to sing!
