Let your light so shine before men
That they may see your good works
And glorify your Father in Heaven
Today I made a plan
A promise in my mind
That I'd begin this very day
To let my light so shine
The early morning dawn
Revealed my mothers face
Reminding me that my own home
Was my beginning place
With a happy heart I sang
And helped in little ways
To bring a ray of loving light
Into my families day
Then out into the wolrd
I went with watchful eye
I saw a woman old and bent
And could not pass her by
With a gentle voice I spoke
Then listened for a while
Then saw her sad expression change into a Grateful smile
Let your light so shine before men
That they may see your good works
And glorify your Father in Heaven
As time went quickly by
I said a silent prayer
And asked to bring the light of love
To someone in depsair
Outside my cirlce of friends
I saw a lonely one
A person often ridiculed
And left to walk alone
With courage I reached out
And drew her in with me
The joy I saw will ever be
A cherished memory
As evening time aproached
I had a chance to share
A priceless gift that I hold dear
With someone who would care
In faith I gave a friend
The sacred book of life
And testified that it contains
The purest gospel light
Let your light so shine before men
That they may see your good works
And glorify your Father in Heaven
By letting my light shine
I truly came to see
Good works that glorify the Lord
Bring happiness to me
