Song: Shine Your Light

The light of the Sun shines down upon me
I see the colors of the rainbow all around
The warmth fills my soul and I am happy
I can’t get enough of this great feeling
So I stare at the Sun with eyes wide open
Until I am blinded and I can see no more

Heaven shine your light down on me
Shine your light that I may see

The coolness of the rain refreshes my soul
I dance like a child enjoying its miracle
I can’t get enough of the claps of lightning and rolls of thunder
I climb to the mountain top to experience its fullness
From its peak I reach high with arms spread wide
I am struck by lightning and burned to the core

Heaven shine your light down on me
Shine your light that I may see

The ocean waves crash with power to the shore
Sand between my toes, I step in the water pushed to and fro
I know if I can get out there beyond the shore, I will experience their greatest might
So I grab my dinghy, raising its sails high
Leaving the safety of the harbor to be surrounded by waves of beauty
The perfect storm engulfs me in its power and I am no more

Heaven shine your light down on me
Shine your light that I may see

From the base of the mountain I see the flames of fire shooting high
As if calling me to come closer to study its spectacle
Camera in hand I capture picture after picture of its evolving creation
Of a mountain being created from the core of the earth
Not heeding the warnings of its pending eruption
I am buried by the ashes, frozen in time by the cooling lava

Heaven shine your light down on me
Shine your light that I may see

For in all the power and beauty contained in this Earth
There is a delicate balance to be understood and respected
For life out of balance is an act of destruction
Learning this balance is what our journey is about
To sprout forth new life from the disaster we have created
And allow His Holy Spirit to restore us to healing

Heaven shine your light down on me
Shine your light so that I will be free

Colors dance in golden light.
Your love is warm upon my face,
A whisper of Your boundless grace.

A river runs where dust once blew.

Through every storm, through every trial,

Your voice is strong, yet soft and sweet.
You calm the tide, You still the sea,
You speak, and fear must bow to Thee.

Open my eyes, help me to see.
Through every storm, through every trial,
Lead me in love, Lord, all the while.

Through every sorrow, through every pain,
You are my refuge, You are my peace,
Forever faithful, never release

Open my eyes, help me to see.
Through every storm, through every trial,
Lead me in love, Lord, all the while.
