There's a light within me
The perfect light of Christ
And I have made a promise
To keep it burning bright

By walking in His footsteps
And following His plan
In every time and every place
In every way I can

I will shine like a candle in the dark
All it takes to make a difference is a smile
And it's easy to see that the brightest are we
Is when I let His light shine through me

One simple act of kindness
Will lift a lonely soul
One gentle word that's spoken
To sadness, to hope

When trust you'll be like Jesus
Will spread the love He gives
And one by one, the earth becomes
A better place to live

I will shine like a candle in the dark
All it takes to make a difference is a smile
And it's easy to see that the brightest are we
Is when I let His light shine through me
When I let His light shine through me
