You made the sun to light the day, you made the moon to light the night,
You made me your son to light the world, but I still need more of your light.

Father of lights, shine down on me in all the dark places I'll never see,
Only your light can take the night from me.

There is no shadow under you, there is no place darkness has to hide,
So search me and show me where you've never been; and help me let your light inside.

Father of lights, shine down on me in all the dark places I'll never see,
Only your light can take the night from me.

So let it shine, shine, shine, and it will chase away the darkness,
Let it shine, shine, shine, and it will chase away the night.

Just when I think there's no more darkness, just when I think I've seen all your light,
You show me a corner I've kept from you; my fear and pride keeps it out of sight.

Father of lights, shine down on me in all the dark places I'll never see,
Only your light can take the night from me.

So let it shine, shine, shine, and it will chase away the darkness,
Let it shine, shine, shine, and it will chase away the night,
So let it shine, shine, shine, and it will chase away the darkness,
Let it shine, shine, shine, and it will chase away the night,
Shine, shine, shine,
Chase away the darkness,
Shine, shine, shine,
Chase away the night,
