Ceiling light switch

I would like to install a ceiling light with a switch..
Presently the switch now controls an outlet on and off. In the ceiling there's a cover plate with a box and a Romex wire. The wire is hot all theme.
In the box where the switch is there are two Romex wires
One has black, white and ground. The other has three wires: red ,black white and ground.
The switch is wired like this: all the whites together, the red goes on the Sw.
The blacks are twisted together and the black from the three wires is looped and screwed in the Sw.
How can I put a ceiling controlled with a switch.
