Shine On Us

By Josh Wilson

Lyrics

This city doesn’t sleep at night

At ten o’clock it comes alive

There’s 20 million people, then there’s me

A taxi driver every day

A lot of work, a little pay

Just looking for a way to find some peace


But finding peace

Is way too hard

When you’re looking in the dark


So shine, shine, shine on us

Oh God, we need Your love

These streets aren’t bright enough

Oh Jesus, shine on us


I’m sitting on this corner here

My dignity just disappears

With every coin I beg into this cup

No matter how much people pay

It doesn’t matter anyway

It never ever seems to be enough


The light inside

My heavy heart

Is getting way too dark


So shine, shine, shine on us

Oh God, we need Your love

These streets aren’t bright enough

Oh Jesus, shine on us


God above is full of mercy

Turning darkness into dawn

All you who are weak and weary

Lift your heads and sing this song


Shine, shine, shine on us

Oh God, we need Your love

These streets aren’t bright enough

Oh Jesus, shine on us


Shine, shine, shine on us

Oh God, we need Your love

These streets aren’t bright enough

Oh Jesus, shine on us
