Shining Down On Me
(lyrics Karl Allison/music Alvin Allison)
Even though I hurt You and it’s been so many times,
I always come back laughing ‘cos Your love replaces mine.
I can’t believe it, how You love me
How You always seem to care
And I’m glad to see Your love still
Shining down on me.
Setting dizzy limits - well, I’m reaching for the sky -
But I always seem to falter when I wave this world goodbye.
Hello, I missed you - now I leave you
And I won’t be back again
And I’m glad to see your love still
Shining down on me.
Holding on forever to a friendship that I’ve found
Will always hold me steady while my head is spinning round and round
About me - I can feel You
And I trust that you’ll be there
And I’m glad to see Your love still
Shining down on me.
Quickly do I wander form the path You set for me,
So ready to abandon what I’m certain I must be with You to guide me
Can I follow ?
Can I let my feelings show ?
And I’m so glad to see Your love still
Shining down on me.
Never hold against me all the things that people say,
You know they only want to show You that I go my own way
But they’re lying !
I am trying
To do as You want me to
And I’m glad to see Your love still
Shining down on me.
