Shineby Justin Lawrence
There's a light and it shines for all the world to see
as it did one dark night while the world was still asleep
when three men were led to see a glimpse of Eternity
come to Earth in the form of a helpless baby
In the dead of night, hope arrived, armed with frailty
God would die, enter time, in a plan to intervene:
when mere men were led to be a part of His story
on the Earth to depict a wholly different King
Who came to shine, shine upon the world
through our lives, reach a lonely world
let them see that God has come to Earth
Not a star or a myth, not a food or song or tree
Not a show nor a gift - no mass debauchery
'tis a time when our darkness tore and light pierced vividly
no longer blind, restored, an image of a King
And a sign to shine upon the world
through our eyes, reach a lonely world
let them see that God has come to Earth
let them know who I've been with
May I shine, shine upon the world
through my night, reach a lonely world
Let them see that God has come to Earth
and let them know just whom i've been with
May i show a life lived differently
May i show a true picture of the King who came to me
