Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
You paint our souls with love and grace
Like cathedrals the moment that the day breaks
In every crack, in every stain
You gave us hope when all that we had before was pain
On our own we're just shadows in the night
But with You the darkness never could survive
We can't stay works of art in disguise
When You color our lives, color our lives
We are stained glass windows when Your light shines through
When Your light shines through
All our shattered pieces have become brand new
We become brand new
And all these broken edges are beautiful
Telling stories of gospel truth
We are stained glass windows when Your light shines through
Oh, so let Your light shine through
The ancient songs in our bones
Resonate with the power of the Holy Ghost
Making new things out of the old
A reflection of Heaven, that's how we go
On our own we're just shadows in the night (Ooh)
But with You the darkness never could survive
We can't stay works of art in disguise
When You color our lives, color our lives (Yeah)
We are stained glass windows when Your light shines through
When Your light shines through
All our shattered pieces have become brand new
We become brand new
And all these broken edges are beautiful (Ooh)
Telling stories of gospel truth
We are stained glass windows when Your light shines through
Oh, so let Your light shine through
(Oh, let Your light shine through)
Oh, let Your light shine through (Ooh)
Let Your light shine, let Your light shine through
(Let Your light shine through)
We can't stay works of art in disguise, no
Cause everyday You come and color our lives
Yeah, You color our lives!
We are stained glass windows when Your light shines through (Ooh)
When Your light shines through
All our shattered pieces have become brand new (Ooh)
We become brand new
And all these broken edges are beautiful
Telling stories of gospel truth
We are stained glass windows when Your light shines through
Oh, so let Your light shine through
Let Your light shine through (Ooh)
Let Your light shine through
Yeah, let Your light shine through
