From the recording Shine On
This track got chosen to be first because it sums up the Pauper's Crown sound! The noise at the very beginning is me shifting with the acoustic. The voice at the end is my youngest son trying to be quiet while I was tracking acoustics! It was so cute, I kept it!!
Lyrics
Chorus
Shine, Shine ON
HIS light breaks the darkness
To show the path you're on
Shine, Oh, Shine On
Shining the Light of Life
To the arms of Jesus you're drawn
Verse 1
I feel lost in the darkness, that this world has offered me
This fear inside tells me to stay
Now, off in the distance, a glimmer of light I see
Stepping forward, running now, shining bright as the new day
Pre Chorus
Trying to see through the eyes of a child
But my scars just get in the way
Shining bright, the Light of Life, so meek and mild
YOUR scars, they burn out the gray
Verse 2
Standing as a light on the hill, brighter than the noonday
This perfect LOVE castes out all fears
Now, shining bright, the darkness runs away
Stepping forward, kneeling now, HE wipes away my tears
