Shine Like the Moon

My feet were tired and torn, stumbling endlessly
Despair and emptiness, the heart and soul of me
Wondering everyday, should I even be?
So cold and alone, no hope could I see.

In that darkest hour I began to cry
"If there's more to life, please give me a sign."
Then I saw the moon, hanging low and bright
A beautiful ray of hope, reflected in the night.

Looking at the sun, I know what I see
Light and warmth and life, shining constantly
Even in the darkest night, I know it's still there
Reflected off the moon as I stop and stare.

Now, there's another Son, He lives inside of me
Light and warmth and Life, shining constantly
Even in the darkest night, others see Him there
Reflected off my heart, as His Light I share!
                             
Let me shine like the moon, reflecting Jesus' Glory
Let me shine like the moon, proclaiming Jesus' Story
Let me shine like the moon, shine like the moon,
Let me shine, let me shine, like the moon.
