Shine

by Justin Lawrence

Verse 1

There's a light and it shines for all the world to seeas it did one dark night while the world was still asleepwhen three men were led to see a glimpse of Eternitycome to Earth in the form of a helpless baby

Verse 2

In the dead of night, hope arrived, armed with frailtyGod would die, enter time, in a plan to intervene:when mere men were led to be a part of His storyon the Earth to depict a wholly different King

Chorus 1

Who came to shine, shine upon the worldthrough our lives, reach a lonely worldlet them see that God has come to Earth

Verse 3

Not a star or a myth, not a food or song or treeNot a show nor a gift - no mass debauchery'tis a time when our darkness tore and light pierced vividlyno longer blind, restored, an image of a King

Chorus 2

And a sign to shine upon the worldthrough our eyes, reach a lonely worldlet them see that God has come to Earthlet them know who I've been with

Chorus 3

May I shine, shine upon the worldthrough my night, reach a lonely worldLet them see that God has come to Earthand let them know just whom i've been with

Outtro

May i show a life lived differentlyMay i show a true picture of the King who came to me
