Christ, Shine In Our Lives

Verse 1
When the darkness surrounds us
And troubles our hearts,
And we cry out
For justice and peace;
When the proud and the mighty
Bring terror and fear,
And burdens the hearts of the meek;
When judgement and hate overwhelm us,
And prejudice reigns in the night:Refrain
Light of Christ,
Shine in our lives.
Christ, be our light.
Christ, be our guide.
Shinein Your church,
Shine in our lives.
Dispel the darkness with Your light.
Shine, shine in our lives!Verse 2
When the lost and forsaken
Stumble and fall,
When the sinner
Brings scandal and shame;
When the poor and the widow
Long for our love,
And the warmth of compassion's embrace;
When the old and unborn
Are abandoned,
And the wounded and frail
Turned away:Refrain
Light of Christ,
Shine in our lives.
Christ, be our light.
Christ, be our guide.
Shinein Your church,
Shine in our lives.
Dispel the darkness with Your light.
Shine, shine in our lives!

The Church Is Where Men Are

Verse 1
The Church is where men are
For there we find Christ
He's hidden behind
Every face we behold
By saying we're Christians
We must be on guard
Because through our actions
The truth will unfoldRefrain
Let our light shine
For all to see
Serving both friend and enemy
Since He died for us
Let us live for Him
And be His disciples eternallyVerse 2
The Church is where Christ is
And Christ dwells in men
And folks everywhere
Are made by the Lord
What we do to others
We do to Him
By judging our neighbour
We spell our rewardRefrain
Let our light shine
For all to see
Serving both friend and enemy
Since He died for us
Let us live for Him
And be His disciples eternallyVerse 3
The Church is where men are
And we are the Church
It is from the fruit
One discovers the tree
We are silent witnesses
Living the Mass
By taking Him with us
Wherever we beRefrain
Let our light shine
For all to see
Serving both friend and enemy
Since He died for us
Let us live for Him
And be His disciples eternally
