Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

There?s a light within me

The perfect light of Christ

And I have made a promise

To keep?it?burning bright


By walking?in His footsteps

And following His plan

In?every time and every place

In every way I can


I will shine like a candle in the dark

All it takes to make a difference is a smile

And it?s easy to see that the brightest are we

Is when I let His light shine through me


One simple act of kindness

Will lift a lonely soul

One gentle word that's spoken

To sadness, to hope


When trust you'll be like Jesus

Will spread the love He gives

And one by one, the earth becomes

A better place to live


I will shine like a candle in the dark

All it takes to make a difference is a smile

And it's easy to see that the brightest are we

Is when I let His light shine through me
