Shining on Me words and music © 2005 Heidi Huettner

Verse 1:

When my heart was stranded and when all my hope was gone
You came along
And when what this life handed me had left me so withdrawn
You came along; you came along

Chorus 1:

Shining on me: with the light of sweet forgiveness for my soul
Shining on me: giving me back everything the darkness stole
Shining on me: showing me the infinite, making me whole

Chorus 2:

Shining on me (shining on me); shining on me (shining on me)
Shining on me (shining on me), shining on me

Verse 2:

And when I had demanded recognition and renown
You came along
You gently reprimanded me and safely set me down
You came along; you came along

Chorus 1+2

Bridge:

And when the past had branded me with failure and defeat
I looked at myself candidly and I found I was complete
And when an evil man did things to tear my world apart
I gave up understanding and I learned to unbreak my heart

Chorus 2
Verse 1 (first two lines)
Chorus 1+2
