Lyrics
Verse 1:
Five years old, shy and scared,
First day alone at Sunday School.
But the teacher whispered, “Have a chair.
We’re all so happy to have you here.”
And she talked about Jesus, and she talked about God,
And she kissed each little head.
And before we walked out the door, she said…
Chorus 1:
“Shine your light, Jesus lives inside your heart
Shine your light, You’ll never be too young to start
To share God’s love with everyone you meet.
In the darkest night, Shine your light.”
Verse 2:
First a job, then a wife,
Now we have three children, too.
And I wonder how to raise them right,
And the words they’ll hear in their dark night.
And I pray every night, as I kneel at their beds,
That God will find a way
To lead someone to teach them and say…
(Repeat Chorus 1)
Verse 3:
Two short lines, the time and date,
That’s all the space that could be spared.
But for a little boy whose life she changed,
I know that heaven celebrates.
Now she talks with Jesus, and she talks with God.
And I smile as I kiss her head.
‘cause I still hear those simple words she said…
Chorus 2:
“Shine your light, Jesus lives inside your heart
Shine your light, You’ll never be too young to start”
And she’ll share God’s love with saints and angels too.
There’ll be no more dark nights, Shine your light.
