Shine Your Light was written during the height of the pandemic, addressing our need for God's kingdom light to break into our darkness and despair.
lyrics
You give strength to the weary, and hope to the broken,
And all the wounded ones—You bear their pain.
You give comfort to those who mourn,
And peace to the anxious heart,
And all who carry scars—You carry them.
Lord, have mercy on us.
Christ, our Savior, heal us.
Lord, have mercy on us.
You see each bitter tear, and every broken heart,
And all the fallen ones—You lift them up.
You are light in the darkest night, in every valley deep,
And all whose song is lost—You sing for them.
Shine Your light upon us. Bring Your healing to us.
Though we should walk in darkness,
Lord our hope, our hope is in You alone.
Shine Your light upon us. Show Your power among us.
We will not fear the darkness,
For our hope, our hope is in You alone.
Lord, our hope, our hope is in You alone.
Lord, we trust, we trust in You alone.
