TAYA speaks to our secret fears on “Come Into the Light.” For those shackled by shame or hidden in the depths of disappointment, the crescendoing ballad beckons us all into a transformational encounter with a Savior who is nothing if not kind, loving and gentle.
The Australian native’s vocal is intimate and raw on the original, which immediately draws listeners in with relatable lyrics and a warm invitation. TAYA says “Come Into the Light” was inspired by the Scripture found in 1 John 1:6-7: “So we are lying if we say we have fellowship with God but go on living in spiritual darkness; we are not practicing the truth. But if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.”

“This song comes from a place of desperation, surrender and an honest conversation,” the powerful vocalist reveals of the genesis of “Come Into the Light.” “We sing to and serve a God who has no limit to the wholeness that He brings, but so often, due to pride (fake humility) and the fear of man, we discount ourselves from that very invitation.
“Maybe like me, you’ve walked with Jesus for a little while; and perhaps, there have been altar call moments in church services, worship nights, gatherings, etc., where you felt you needed to respond, but you let pride keep you in your seat,” she continues. “May these minutes afford you another chance to respond to Jesus wherever you find yourself listening.”

Summoning us to surrender every part of ourselves to God, “Come Into the Light” follows TAYA’s sunny pop single, “Gonna Be Good,” and continues the new mom’s journey toward her sophomore solo offering.
Live, she’s been interpolating former hit, “Touch the Sky,” into the selection. She’ll bring the seamless mashup to audiences this spring on her headlining “Come Into the Light Tour,” which kicks off in April. Additionally, she’ll appear on select 2025 Found Collective dates, alongside speakers like Lisa Harper, Christine Caine, DawnCheré Wilkerson, and more.
