Lyrics

Be a faith­ful wit­ness for the Lord,
Shine for Je­sus where you are;
You can­not an idle hour af­ford,
Just shine for Je­sus where you are.

Refrain

Shine for Je­sus where you are,
Shine for Je­sus where you are;
Someone lost in sin you may guide to glo­ry,
Shine for Je­sus where you are.

Grace for every deed He will pro­vide,
Shine for Je­sus where you are;
There are those in need on every side,
Just shine for Je­sus where you are.

Refrain

In your home to­day let kind­ness glow,
Shine for Je­sus where you are;
Tell some­one of Christ and heal sin’s woe,
Just shine for Je­sus where you are.
