The Lord does not delight in human reckoning
He offers us the wisdom of the spirit
The idols of an age are falling all around
But we are told to stand and not to fear it
We find our strength in him alone
We have no greatness of our own

CHORUS:
We put no confidence in the flesh
We will trust in the Lord our God
We put no confidence in the flesh
We will trust in the Lord our God
And we will shine like the stars
We will shine like the stars
In a darkened world

We turn away from hoping in chariot and horse
We come aside to listen and to wait
The one who brought us here will speak and lead us on
Go forward on a path of simple faith
We will find our strengths in Him alone
We have no greatness of our own

CHORUS

Shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine
In a darkened world
