Shine On

Shine On
Jim McDermott
1983

I have this feeling in my heart
It's the feeling of the Lord
It's been growing for a year or two
And will grow forever more

I'll let it shine throughout my life
To everyone around
That they shall see the love and peace
The Lord and I have found

It's for you, me and everyone
I hope you realize
Not just for priests and men
Who go to church as prescribed

I have this feeling in my heart
It's the feeling of the Lord
It's been growing for a year or two
And will grow forever more

Every since this feeling came round
I've been on a natural high
And have come to a conclusion
That your all not as high as I

So now open up all your heart
And let the dear Lord in
That He may show that same old feeling
Then let this song begin

We have this feeling in our hearts
It's the feeling of the Lord
It's been growing for a year or two
And will grow forever more

We'll let it shine throughout our lives
To everyone around
That they shall see the love and peace
The Lord and we have found

Matthew 5:15-16 (NIV)

15Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
