She came forward at a youth retreat the summer she had turned sixteen
Looking for a way to ease the pain
She'd been hiding in the shadows of fear and insecurity
So when she heard the gospel truth she was ready for a change
Now like a sign that keeps on flashin'
And points the way to her new found passion

She's got a neon heart and a billboard soul
As she's advertising Jesus' love everywhere she goes
And the life she lives is like a full page ad that reads
I was once alone in the dark until He came and gave me
A neon heart  A neon heart

Her friends think it's all a passing phase and soon she'll be her same old self
Another teenage heartache just like them
But there's something real they can't deny that seems to come from someplace else
That lifts her up beyond the hurt again and again
Though they don't know the one she hopes in
She believes that door will open

 Through a neon heart and a billboard soul
As she's advertising Jesus' love everywhere she goes
And the life she lives is like a full page ad that reads
I was once alone in the dark until He came and gave me
A neon heart
A neon heart

For her it's not a deep theology
She just came when He said follow me
And she received

Now she's the light of the world with a neon heart
Now she's the light of the world with a neon heart
