The lyrics emphasize that knowing God's heart involves reaching out to others, and that worship is expressed by showing Christ's light through our actions. The repeated call to "shine on" serves as a motivating reminder to live out faith visibly and compassionately.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
If we're to be the light
That shines for all of man
Then how can we light the way
If we don't go to them
I believe to know God's heart
Is to meet them where they are
Won't you shine on
Won't you shine on
You can shine on
Shine on
In all that's said and done
And everything you do
Just let your life glorify
The one who shines on you
I believe we worship Christ
When we show the world His light
Won't you shine on
Won't you shine on
You can shine on
Shine on
Shine on
Shine on
Won't you shine on
Won't you shine on
You can shine on
Shine on
Won't you shine on
Won't you shine on
You can shine on
Shine on
