You know
You've been saved for quite some time now
And it's not that you're doing anything wrong
(You need a life that shows)
But people can't tell if you're saved or not
(You need a life that shows)
This is what you need

You need a life that shows
Every single day, every way
You need a life that flows
You need a life
You need a life that shows

People deal with you every day
They see you come, and likewise go
They listen to the words that you say
What you stand for, they don't know
A little outward show will let them know
It's the Lord you stand for

You need a life that shows
You need a life
You need to be a light
Life that flows
Oh...
Sometimes blending in is misunderstood
As being afraid or being ashamed
Take a stand, my friend, this you should
You belong to Jesus
Be proud you're wearing His name
Since you are here
Go ahead be a witness
Go on and be a guiding light

You need a life that shows
(You need a life that shows)
You're the only help
That someone's ever know
So you need to be a light that glows
(Life that flows)

(You need a life)
(You need a life that shows)
Oh, yeah

Let your light shine before all men
Let it shine, shine
(Let you shine before all men)
Let your light shine before all men
(So that men could see the way)
Let it shine, shine
(You could show it to a brighter day)
Let your light shine before all men
(There's a world that's in darkness)
Let it shine, shine
(Maybe you're the only light)
(That they'll ever know)
Let your light shine before all men
Let it shine, shine
(There's a dying world)
(Don't be ashamed...)
