Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Lately I don't recognize you
the fire in your eyes it fading into embers
So while you're out there in the darkness
I'm pray you'll remember
[Chorus:]
You were made to shine
You were made for life
Even if you've lost your way
Turn and you will hear love say
You were made for more, so much more
Child of everlasting light
Made to blaze away the night
So baby burn bright
Burn bright
You can rise up from the ashes
Make something beautiful of all the broken pieces
And I'm believing you'll come running
Into the arms of Jesus
[Chorus]
There will always be somebody in the dark
ready to rain down on your last spark
trying to blow out your flame again
They will do it if you let them
ohhhh, so don't you let them
[Chorus]
Oh, burn bright
Oh, burn bright
I'm believing you'll come running
Into the arms of Jesus
