Shine On
David Osmond Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know that my Redeemer lives!
What comfort this sweet sentence gives!
He lives, he lives, who once was dead;
He lives, my ever living head!

He lives triumphant from the grave;
He lives eternally to save;
He lives exalted, throned above;
He lives to rule his Church in love.

He lives to grant me rich supply;
He lives to guide me with his eye;
He lives to comfort me when faint;
He lives to hear my soul's complaint.

He lives to silence all my fears;
He lives to wipe away my tears;
He lives to calm my troubled heart;
He lives all blessings to impart.

He lives to bless me with his love;
He lives to plead for me above;
He lives my hungry soul to feed;
He lives to help in time of need.

He lives, my kind, wise, heavenly friend;
He lives and loves me to the end;
He lives, and while he lives, I'll sing;
He lives, my Prophet, Priest, and King!

He lives and grants me daily breath;
He lives, and I shall conquer death;
He lives my mansion to prepare;
He lives to bring me safely there.

He lives, all glory to his name!
He lives, my savior, still the same;




What joy this blest assurance gives:
I know that my Redeemer lives!

"Finally feeling the light..." (Happy tears;)-

@renzdarylcruz8218

Finally feeling the light
Whispering peace to my soul
Finally tasting the truth
Of things I've been praying to know
Now with every breath that I breathe
I wanna live so it shines through me

Shine on
Shine on for the whole world to see
Hold on to the gift of believing
Be strong walk on
In the light of the One
Who will love and lead us along
Shine on

Taking the faith I have found
And putting it all on the line
Trusting the promise is real
Changing my heart and my life
Standing true to what I believe
I'm gonna live so it shines through me

Shine on
Shine on for the whole world to see
Hold on to the gift of believing
Be strong walk on
In the light of the One
Who will love and lead us along
Shine on

You and I can be the light in the darkness
A light that shines from within
Share the hope and the love that He gives us
And shine the way to Him

Shine on
Shine on for the whole world to see
Hold on to the gift of believing
Be strong walk on
In the light of the One
Who will love and lead us along
Shine on

Hold on to the gift of believing
Be strong walk on
In the light of the One
Who will love and lead us along
Shine on
Shine on
Shine on
