SHINE ON ME

The path that I had followed was one of grief and shame,
and I had been lost and alone, until I called out His name.
His light lit up my pathway and I felt forgiveness there.
All it took was looking up, for an answer to my prayer.

Shine on me, Lord, light up the night with stars and moon.

I learned to trust and to forgive myself for past mistakes,
knowing He had forgiven me was the only thing it takes.
Even though problems still arise that I alone can't handle,
the faith and trust I have outshines any lighted candle.

Shine on me, Lord, light up the days with blue sky and sun.

A loving God is always with us, we are all in His care,
and He will not forsake us, we can go to Him in prayer.
Through trials and tribulation, He will be there at our side
and in His arms we will be comforted, in His love abide.

Shine on me, Lord, light up my life with your presence.
