Verse – One
Lil' did a young man know,
That he could change the world with a lil' bit of flow,
If that lil' bit of flow put their hands in the sky,
Praisin' the name of God on high and,
Lil' did a young man recognize,
That he was already everything in God's eyes and,
Didn't have to prove nothin' to the world,
All the haters and the beautiful girls,
But he was young and oh so blind,
Wishin' nowadays he could press rewind,
Go back and do it all again,
Give a hoot about nothin' but sayin his Amens,
And being a light in the dark,
Show these people that God's love will give them the spark,
That they need, for them to achieve,
Everything in their wildest dreams and beyond,
Pre-Chorus
Hide it under a bushel no,
Oh, this gospel light of mine,
Hide it under a bushel no,
I'm gonna let it shine,
Hide it under a bushel no,
Oh, this gospel light of mine,
I'm gonna let it shine,
Chorus
This light, was made for shining,
Everywhere, all the time and,
Every day, everywhere I go,
I’m gonna let the whole world know that,
This light, was made for shining,
Everywhere, all the time and,
Let the people see you in me,
Father give life with the words I speak,
Verse – Two
This is life with a meaning,
Got our hearts on fire for ya feening,
You speak life to our souls now we beaming,
Our God is the reason we singing,
This is life on a mission,
Said this a message to everyone listening,
That ya gotta stop all this resisting,
And be the light that the worlds been missing,
Yeah, you know, this light shines in the dark,
All in these rhymes flowin' outta my heart,
Cause Thy will is mine,
Livin' God's plan to the finish line,
Seek and you'll find, this in my findin'
Just let go and let God do the grindin'
Extraordinary we were designed and,
It's our time and it's time for shinin', this light,
