Matt Maher's song 'Shine like the Son' is an uplifting worship anthem that encourages believers to reflect God's light and love to the world. The lyrics celebrate those who share the good news and serve in God's vineyard, emphasizing themes of mission, redemption, and freedom. It speaks of prodigals coming home and captives being set free through God's word. The repeated call to 'shine like the sun' is a metaphor for living out faith visibly and generously. The song inspires listeners to embrace their role in God's work and to let His light shine through them for everyone to see.

How beautiful are the hands and feet of those
Bringing the good news to all the world
Bringing the good news to all the world
How beautiful the sound of all Your people in love
With someone so much greater than themselves
Someone so much greater than themselves
You've made us ready
Shine like the sun
Shine like the sun
Shine like the sun for everyone
For everyone
For everyone
How beautiful are the hands and feet of those
Working in the vineyard of the Lord
Working in the vineyard of the Lord
Blessed are those going in the name of the Lord
In the middle of the lost and the poor
We're living in the name of the Lord
You've made us ready
You've made us worthy
Shine like the sun
Shine like the sun
Shine like the sun for everyone
For everyone
For everyone
Announcing peace as the prodigals come home
You open up the doors and the prodigals come home
Setting the captives free by Your word
You free us by Your word
You free us by Your word
Shine like the sun
Shine like the sun
Shine like the sun for everyone
For everyone
Shine like the sun
Shine like the sun
Shine like the sun for everyone
For everyone
For everyone
