(Intro – Light ukulele strums and shaker eggs) Lead: God’s Word is a lamp, it shows me where to go! Kids: Shows me where to go! Lead: God’s Word is a light, it makes my pathway glow! Kids: Makes my pathway glow! (Verse 1) When I wake up in the morning And I tie my little shoes, I know that God is with me Showing me the way to choose! All: God’s Word is bright! It shines just right! It helps me see Where I should be! (Chorus – Call and response with joyful clapping) Lead: Shine the way! Kids: Shine the way! Lead: Like a lamp at night! Kids: Like a lamp at night! All: With His Word, I’m never lost— God’s truth is my light! (Verse 2) When I play out on the playground, Or I’m reading with my class, I remember what He tells me— “Let My love and kindness last!” All: God’s Word is true! It sticks like glue! It lights the dark— Just like a spark! (Chorus – With kazoo joins in) Lead: Shine the way! Kids: Shine the way! Lead: Through the night or day! Kids: Through the night or day! All: I will walk with Jesus close, He will lead the way! (Bridge – Slower, soft ukulele and harmonized vocals) Even when it’s cloudy, Or when I feel afraid, His Word will always guide me— On every path I take! (Final Chorus – Joyful, claps and kazoos) Lead: Shine the way! Kids: Shine the way! Lead: Like a lamp so bright! Kids: Like a lamp so bright! All: Your Word is my guiding light— Shine the way tonight! (Outro – Giggles, shaker eggs, and soft “Shine the way…” echo fading)
