Restore Shine That We May Be Saved

RESTORE SHINE THAT WE MAY BE SAVED—

Like a diamond dear Lord polish my edges;
Like a old beat up auto Lord wax me;
Rub my inner and outer self Oh!, God;
Allow me to shine on, bright…
Restore shine that we may be saved;
Like the tinkling brass shine bright as diamond;
A razing sun shines so the light;
Glory bright Lord my God shine tonight;

Restore us, O God
Restore us, O God
Restore us, O Lord
That our hearts may beat love
Let the blood be true, that flows through you;
Be absolute as the sun shines so does God;
Make your face shine upon us;
Lord, revile us again…
Give us your grace, let your mercies endure forever;
Shine above send your love so that we may be saved;
Like a diamond dear Lord polish my edges;
Like a old beat up auto Lord wax me;
Rub my inner and outer self Oh!, God;
Allow me to shine on, bright…
Restore shine that we may be saved;
Like the tinkling brass shine bright as diamond;
A razing sun shines so the light;
Glory bright Lord my God shine tonight;

Restore us, O God
Restore us, O God
Restore us, O Lord
Shine that we may be saved Lord God
Restore
