Shine My light

I heard them screamin'
On their front porch this mornin'
Shoutin' in that old familiar way
Why she ever took him back
Since the last time is beyond me
And there's nothing that I can do or say
Who knows what goes on behind closed doors
Lord knows what the children see and hear
The hand that I offer's been shunned I understand
And my only coarse of action's becoming very clear

I just gotta Shine my Light right there, right now
And trust that God is there somehow
Whether I can see Your works or feel Your grace
I know Your face is there

The daily news it tries to drag me under
With the heartache and fear that it feeds
And all the gossip round the office
Think they'd poisoned the water
Seems contempt is becoming a need
Now it's easier to see where they need correcting
Than search my soul and see just what I'm reflecting

Chorus

High above the mountains and the oceans I will soar
Till this vision that I hold for peace
Reigns down forever more

Chorus
