Jesus replied,
"You are a respected Jewish teacher,
And yet you don't understand these things?
(yeah, yeah, darkness in the night)
(hah, hah, light shining bright)
I assure you,
We tell you what we know and have seen,
And yet you won't believe our testimony.
But if you don't believe me
When I tell you about earthly things,
How can you possibly believe
If I tell you about heavenly things?
(yeah, yeah, darkness in the night)
(hah, hah, light shining bright)
No one has ever gone to heaven and returned.
But the Son of Man has come down from heaven."
Open your eyes, seek the light (seek the light)
Believe in truth, and step out of the night (out of the night)
And as Moses lifted up the bronze snake on a pole in the wilderness,
So the Son of Man must be lifted up,
So that everyone who believes in Him will have eternal life.
(yeah, yeah, in the shadows)
(yeah, yeah, see the light)
For this is how God loved the world:
He gave His one and only Son,
So that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.
God sent His Son into the world not to judge the world,
But to save the world through Him.
(yeah, yeah, in the shadows)
(yeah, yeah, see the light)
There is no judgment
Against anyone who believes in Him.
But anyone who does not believe in Him
Has already been judged
For not believing in God's one and only Son.
And the judgment is based on this fact:
God's light came into the world,
But people loved the darkness
More than the light, for their actions were evil.
All who do evil hate the light
And refuse to go near it
For fear their sins will be exposed.
But those who do what is right
Come to the light
So others can see
That they are doing what God wants."
Open your eyes, seek the light (seek the light)
Believe in truth, and step out of the night (out of the night)
(yeah, yeah, darkness in the night)
(hah, hah, light shining bright)
(yeah, yeah, in the shadows)
(yeah, yeah, see the light)
