SHINE MORE BRIGHTLY
When you are sick or feeling low let the light shine,
Even shine brighter than before in this heart of mine,
I won’t let Satan win and make me say, ‘why me’
But smile and be happy and of sorrow be quite free.
Sickness comes to all of us sooner or later in life,
Smile and be cheerful however harsh in the strife,
That’s when each light within should be extra bright
Shine and help show the right way with all your might,
We can all let our light shine when easy is the way,
It’s when dark clouds roll in you need to brighten the day,
You may never know who needs that shining bright light,
Someone lost and floundering may need to fix their sight.
Smile through the suffering and laugh through the pain,
Keeping the light shining bright and then hurt may wain,
For you need that light to hold on to don’t let it fade away,
Shine even brighter so that dark night seems like the day.
