The Light of You in Me

To break out of complacency
To feed the fire you placed in me
To move the heart and change the mind
And let my light shine
To reach out for the maximum
That graces, I will lack for none
In searching I will always find
And let my light shine

 	To push aside the dark
	In every human heart
	And shine for all to see
	The light of you in me

The doldrums bear such awful fruits
They poison right down to the roots
And pull us ways we’re not designed
But let your light shine
For down you go, but you won’t stay
He takes that gravity away
And you can leave it all behind
And let your light shine

 	To push aside the dark
	In every human heart
	And shine for all to see
	The light of you in me

Every night ends with the rising of the sun!
Every night ends at the rising of the Son!
