[Verse]
D Precious Gangel,D under the Gsun
D How was I to Gknow Bm you’d be the Gone
D/F# To show me I was Gblinded,D/A to show me I was Ggone
D How weak was the founGdation I wasBm standing uGpon?
[Verse]
D Now there’s spiritual Gwarfare and flesh and Dblood breaking down G
D Ya either got faith or ya Ggot unbelief and there ain’t Bmno neutral Gground
D/F# The enemy is Gsubtle,D/A how be it we are so deGceived
D When the truth’s in our Ghearts and we Bmstill don’t beGlieve?
[Chorus]
D/F# Shine your Glight,D/A shine your light on Gme
D/F# Shine your Glight,D/A shine your light on Gme
D/F# Shine your Glight,D/A shine your light on Gme
Ya know I Bmjust couldn't make it by myD/Aself
I'm a Glittle too Emblind to G/Asee
[Interlude]
| D | G | D | G |
| D/A | G | Bm | G |
[Verse]
D My so-called Gfriends have Dfallen under a spellG
D They look me squarely in the Geye and they Bmsay, “All is Gwell”
D/F# Can they imagine the Gdarkness that will D/Afall from on Ghigh
When Dmen will beg God to kill Gthem and they Bmwon’t be able to die? G
[Verse]
D Sister, lemme Gtell you Dabout a vision I Gsaw
You were Ddrawing water for your Ghusband, you were Bmsuffering under the laGw
You were D/F#telling him about GBuddha, you were D/Atelling him about Mohammed in one Gbreath
You never Dmentioned one time the GMan who came and Bmdied a criminal’s Gdeath
[Chorus]
D/F# Shine your Glight,D/A shine your light on Gme
D/F# Shine your Glight,D/A shine your light on Gme
D/F# Shine your Glight,D/A shine your light on Gme
Ya know I Bmjust couldn't make it by myD/Aself
I'm a Glittle too Emblind to G/Asee
[Interlude]

| D/A | G | Bm | G |
[Verse]
D Precious Gangel,D you believe me when I Gsay
D What God has Ggiven to us no Bmman can take away G
D/F# We are covered in Gblood, girl, you D/Aknow our forefathers were Gslaves
Let us Dhope they’ve found mercyG in their Bmbone-filled Ggraves
[Verse]
D You’re the queen of my Gflesh, girl, you’re my Dwoman, you’re my delightG
D You’re the lamp of my Gsoul, girl,Bm and you torch up the Gnight
D/F# But there’s violence in the Geyes, girl, so let D/Aus not be entGiced
On the Dway out of Egypt, through EGthiopia, to the Bmjudgment hall of GChrist
[Chorus]
D/F# Shine your Glight,D/A shine your light on Gme
D/F# Shine your Glight,D/A shine your light on Gme
D/F# Shine your Glight,D/A shine your light on Gme
Ya know I Bmjust couldn't make it D/Aby myself
I'm a Glittle too Emblind to G/Asee
[Outro]
