LIGHT FROM WITHIN / SHINE!
© 2008 Taylor Brooks Tunes, ASCAP

Walking beside
Me you have been
Always to guide me
From the depths of my sin
No mountain so high
No darkness so dim
That I can’t see it shine
The light from within

When I came knocking
You took me in
Opened my heart
And let your love in
From your angels on high
The heralds begin
‘Cause they see it shine
The light from within

If I should suffer
Then I shall sing
I’ll lift up my heart
And my voice takes wing
And when I look in your eye
And see where I’ve been
I’ll know that it shined
The light from within
I’ll know that it shines
The light from within
Shine on, shine on!

When I reach the end of my journey
And I get to the end of the line
Step on up to those Pearly Gates
Right on time!

When I lay me down my burden
My gossamer wings will soar on High
Look upon this Earthly wonder
And let that bright light shine!
Let that bright light shine!

And when I finally meet St. Peter
There and then will I tell my story
Open up the gates to Heaven
And let me live in glory

Oh, won’t you let me live in glory
And shine the light from within!
