Within the heart of everyone
Who has come to know the Lord
There is a light that's burning
Where nothing has before
From the kindle of compassion
To the fever of the flame
There's a God up in Heaven
Who is calling your name
Chorus:
Shine out the light
Shine out the light
Shine out the light to the world
Like a candle in the darkness
Burning through the night
We've got to shine out the light to the world
When all your friends are crying out
From the pain that seems too great
It's up to you to tell them
Before it gets too late
But the words that ring the loudest
Can be spoken with your heart
Cause when the fire's truly burning
It will cut through the dark
