Woke up tired, clouds on my mind
Every little thing seems to slow down time
Spilled my coffee, missed the alarm again
Lord, I need You, be my closest friend
The world feels heavy, my heart feels small
But I know, Lord, You can lift it all
Guide my steps and calm my fears
Turn my darkness into cheers
[Pre-Chorus]
Even when the world feels cold
Your love can turn my gray to gold
Lift my heart, show me the way
Help me shine through this day
[Chorus]
Lord, help me brighten my day
Chase the shadows, light my way
Fill my heart, drive the storm away
I need Your love, I need Your grace
Give me courage when I feel weak
Give me hope when I cannot speak
Yeah, yeah, yeah—help me shine today
Lord, help me brighten my day
[Verse 2]
Mistakes and struggles keep knocking me down
People around me are wearing a frown
But Your mercy, Lord, it never fades
You lift me up, even through the shade
Show me patience, show me love
Fill my heart with strength from above
Guide my actions, guide my speech
Help me reach those I can teach
[Pre-Chorus]
Even when the night feels long
Your light inside makes me strong
Hold my hand, never let go
Help me let Your glory show
[Chorus]
Lord, help me brighten my day
Chase the shadows, light my way
Fill my heart, drive the storm away
I need Your love, I need Your grace
Give me courage when I feel weak
Give me hope when I cannot speak
Yeah, yeah, yeah—help me shine today
Lord, help me brighten my day
[Bridge]
Every frown will turn to smile
Every tear fades after a while
Your love’s the fire that lights my way
I trust You, Lord, come what may
[Chorus]
Lord, help me brighten my day
Chase the shadows, light my way
Fill my heart, drive the storm away
I need Your love, I need Your grace
Give me courage when I feel weak
Give me hope when I cannot speak
Yeah, yeah, yeah—help me shine today
Lord, help me brighten my day
[Outro]
Even in the darkest night
Your love makes everything right
Lord, help me shine, Lord, help me shine
Yes, Lord, help me brighten my day
