It's not enough to know it I've got to somehow show it Or love is just a candle in a tomb Whose fading light will soon be gone Without Your breath to urge it on To be a ray of peace in place of gloom Shine through me, shine through me Lord, make my life a stream of light For everyone to see A flowing, reaching, loving light Is what I need to be So take control Ignite my soul And shine through me The world is like a child that's lost In darkness all alone Who only needs a distant light To guide him safely home Shine through me, Lord, shine through me Oh, make my life a stream of light For everyone to see A flowing, reaching, loving light Is what I need to be So take control Ignite my soul And shine through me Shine through me Shine through me
