[Verse 1] By the fence line, after rain Mud on my boots, name on my tongue I was carrying the weight Trying to walk where I’d begun You met me there in the birch trees Quiet as a turning page I felt the dark in my hands Start to loosen at Your gaze [Pre-Chorus] When my heart ran thin You did not let go You stayed close enough For my bones to know [Chorus] Shine Your light Shine Your light On my road tonight Shine Your light (Shine Your light) Make my small way bright [Verse 2] There’s a porch lamp by the field And a little chair in the wind That’s where I lay down my fear Let Your mercy come again You know the names I don’t say You know the tears I hide Still You meet me in the dust And You call me back to life [Pre-Chorus] When my heart ran thin You did not let go You stayed close enough For my bones to know [Chorus] Shine Your light Shine Your light On my road tonight Shine Your light (Shine Your light) Make my small way bright [Bridge] So here I am, open palms Here I am, worn and true All I have is this one breath All I want is You Let the shadow fall behind Let the heavy burdens fade Keep me walking, keep me singing Till the morning breaks [Final Chorus] Shine Your light Shine Your light On my road tonight Shine Your light (Shine Your light) Make my small way bright Shine Your light Shine Your light You will lead me right Shine Your light (Shine Your light) Hold me through the night
