  • Ohh, yeah, yeah
    Hey, hmm

    Lord, the light of Your love is shining
    In 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

    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

    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

    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

    As we gaze on Your kingly brightness
    So our faces display Your likeness
    Ever changing from glory to glory
    Mirrored here may our lives tell Your story
    Shine on me, shine on me

    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

    Shine, Jesus, shine
    Fill this land with the Father's glory
    Blaze, Spirit, blaze
    Set our hearts, set them on fire
    Flow, river, flow
    Flood the nations with grace and mercy
    Send forth Your word
    Lord, and let there be light

    Oh, let there be light
    Let there be light Writer/s: Graham Kendrick

  • AnonymousFunny, I sang this song and the rest of musical in a stage setting in the late 70's, while in high school. It is beyond me why the song is dated 1987, 10 years past. Unfortunately, I am not able to get a hold of the copy of the musical by the same title, but the lyrics for Shine Jesus Shine are the same.
