Per Matthew 5:14, I do wonder if the "light of the world" sung about here is the Church and not Christ Himself. Because the third line, "And are we illuminating," brings the singer into the picture. The song seems to be looking for the missing Church and not its Head when framed that way at the outset, especially in light of the line, "As we deny that love is still the king not as weak as we make him out to be."
I believe this song to be a challenge issued to and a questioning of the writer, the listener, and the Church, not Jesus.
