An early P&W song from Graham Kendrick that we have often used as a recessional. There is a noisy live version here (under Shine…) that is probably a little too fast to enunciate the words in the verse – if that is important. This appears to be the original and very sedate it seems now doesn’t it.
The sheet music is at scribd.
Verse 1
Lord, the light of your love is shining,
In the midst of 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 Fathers 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.
Verse 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
Verse 3
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.
Chorus
