SHINE, JESUS SHINE1. Lord, the light of Your love is shiningIn the midst of the darkness shining;Jesus, Light of the World, shine upon us,Set us free by the truth You now bring us,Shine on me, shine on me.Chorus:Shine, Jesus, shine – fill this land with the Father’s glory;Blaze Spirit, blaze – set our hearts on fire.Flow, river, flow – flood the nations with grace and mercy;Send forth Your word, Lord, and let there be light.2. Lord, I come to your awesome presence,From the shadows into Your radiance;By the blood I may enter Your brightness,Search me, try me, consume all my darkness,Shine on me, shine on me. (Chorus – twice through.)
