Song Lyrics

---

Shine Like the Son

Oh let me be
Productive today,
Accomplishing
Whatever You say.

Let me carry on
The task before me,
In Jesus' name,
Glad and joyfully.

Ref.:
Help me to arise
And shine like the Son,
So when the day has ended
All my service will be done.

Oh let me not
A sluggard be,
Eaten by sloth,
Lazy and sleepy.

Open my eyes,
Quicken my step,
Let me wake up,
I have already slept.

Ref.:
Help me to arise
And shine like the Son,
So when the day has ended
All my service will be done.

Let me get up
From my sleep,
All my duties
To do and keep.

I have been dead
For much too long,
Now I awake
To sing this song.

Ref.:
Help me to arise
And shine like the Son,
So when the day has ended
All my service will be done.

Within my life
Many days have passed,
With things undone,
Nothing to last.

My Bible tells me
That I have sinned,
But with each day,
A new start I win.

Ref.:
Help me to arise
And shine like the Son,
So when the day has ended
All my service will be done.

So with this new day
And repentance,
Jesus Christ's blood
Covers my sentence.

Ref.:
Help me to arise
And shine like the Son,
So when the day has ended
All my service will be done.
