Shine Through Me

Intro (soft skank, airy keys)
Yeah yeah…
Let it shine now…
Not me… but You…
Verse 1
Woke up this morning with breath in my chest,
Another new mercy, yeah I know I’m blessed,
I ain’t perfect, I’ve stumbled before,
But Your grace keep knockin’ on my door.
Every step I take, I’m learnin’ to see,
It ain’t about me, it’s who I can be,
A vessel of love in a world that’s cold,
Let Your light break through my soul.
Pre-Chorus (lift)
When I feel weak, when I don’t feel strong,
Remind me, Lord, where I belong,
Not my will — let Yours be done,
Let Your light outshine the sun…
Chorus (bright, toe-tapping)
So let Your light shine through me,
Every word, every act, every deed,
When they see me, let ‘em see You,
Love so loud it breaks right through.
Let Your light shine through me,
In the dark where the hurting be,
If I’m walkin’, I’m walkin’ in truth,
Let Your light shine through…
Verse 2
Met a neighbor with pain in his eyes,
Heavy heart, carryin’ silent cries,
Didn’t have much, but I gave what I could,
Just a little love — and it felt so good.
A smile, a meal, just time to care,
That’s how Your presence fill the air,
We don’t need riches to change a day,
Just open hearts that choose Your way.
Pre-Chorus
When the world say “look out for yourself,”
You teach me to love somebody else,
In every moment, big or small,
Let me answer when You call…
Chorus (full band, harmonies)
So let Your light shine through me,
Every word, every act, every deed,
When they see me, let ‘em see You,
Love so loud it breaks right through.
Let Your light shine through me,
In the dark where the hurting be,
If I’m walkin’, I’m walkin’ in truth,
Let Your light shine through…
Bridge (dub feel, worship moment)
Not my glory — it’s all Yours,
Every open and every closed door,
Use these hands, use this voice,
Every day I make that choice.
From the broken to the strong,
We all searching where we belong,
If I can be a light somehow,
Lord, I’m ready — use me now…
Final Chorus (big, joyful, call & response)
Let Your light shine through me — (Shine through me!)
Every heart that I meet — (Let ‘em see!)
That love that don’t ever run dry,
That grace that never pass by.
Let Your light shine through me — yeah,
In the way that I live each day,
If I’m breathin’, I’m here for truth,
Let Your light shine through…
Outro (fade, horns + crowd sway)
Yeah yeah…
Shine through me…
All I am… belongs to You…
Let it shine.
