Biblical Context of 'I Am the Light of the World'. This word, translated from the Greek Phos, means “to shine or make manifest, the light, brightness.”. We know from John 8:20 that Jesus said these words in the Treasury of the Temple.
In the final repetition of the chorus, "May the good Lord shine a light on you / Make every song you sing your favorite tune / May the good Lord shine a light on you / Warm like the evening sun," the song ultimately reinforces its central theme.
