Shine with Your light, finally free
Shine with Your light, finally free
Hear us chant in the dark
Hear us calling Your name
In the Garden of Gethsemane
I have sinned in the dark
I've become so ashamed
Broke my promise to shine with Your light
I shine with Your light (x3)
You went on trial on the stand
We had mouths but no ears
We condemned You to all that is damned
But I run to Your arms;
to Your grace because I know
You forgave me to shine with Your light
I shine with Your light (x3)
Born to shine with Your light
What I call my weakness,
You call Your power
Cast my sins in the fire
If this is what its like to feel so free
Then light me,
Then light me,
Then light me up (x4)
This is all that is me; woman,
weary but whole; woman unbound
No more room for fear
(no room for fear)
Daughter of Adonai
I believe in Your love
I am now bound to shine with Your light
I shine with Your light (x3)
Born to shine with Your light
What I call my weakness
You call Your power
Cast my sins in the fire
If this is what its like to feel so free
Daughter of Adonai
I believe in Your love
(I am now bound
to shine with Your light)
In the wind, in the rain,
In the silence You came,
oh,
To light me,
To light me,
To light me up (x4)
Born to shine with Your light
What I call my weakness,
You call Your power
Cast my sins in the fire
If this is what its like to feel to free
Then light me,
Then light me,
Then light me up (x4)

- Comment from author about the poem: I did a Christian cover of the song linked in the video. That may be controversial because the message of the two versions are somewhat opposed, but I thought the melody was really beautiful

A poem of faith and this can nor should be criticized but the poem holds power.
Thank you soren
Beauty and functionality here- a confession and a declaration, recognising human frailty while celebrating the strength found in grace. The metaphors of fire, wind, rain, and silence all contribute to the feeling of a personal, intimate awakening—an invitation to be "lit up" by the divine. 🙏🏻🕊️
Thank you arqios! I have to credit the songwriter for the beautiful metaphors, but you expressed my thoughts exactly on the theme of spiritual awakening I envisioned for this cover 🌹
Oh, of course we must. Once it's up would love to listen to the cover. This site allows for YouTube links. My imagination is not that great these days but I have a strong narrating voice in my head and you are right, the two versions kind of clash but this is a song that actually fits perfectly with the arrangement of the supplied video.
