SHINE (Live)- Amara. ft. John-Patrick
LYRIC VIDEO OUT ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGLPa8Nk7q8

Matt. 5:16 - Let your light shine before men that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

LYRICS
Verse
Can you feel the darkness closing in?
It’s coming from this world we’re living in...
But the deepest dark
Precedes the dawn
You gotta
Shine bright, you don’t have to hide
Fan that fire deep inside
We were made to shine,
Children of light 

Prechorus
And if not you, then who?
And if not now, then when?
We’re shining like the Son
Until He comes again
This light inside of you,
It needs no permission

To shine... 

Chorus
Let it shine
Let it shine
Don’t hide your light
Keep burning bright
Just, let it shine
Let it shine
For all to see 
The world needs me
To shine 

Verse - John-Patrick
Verse
Have you ever seen a city on a hill?
For real, I did when I went to LA for the first time. 
Imagine having no salt in your meals
It’s like finding a diamond in the rough that just don’t shine
It’s just blending in
It ain’t never doing nothing to be set apart
I just went and got a whole gym membership
Better than a better body,
I just need a better heart (Need a better heart)
And Jesus was the best example,
He had his whole fam tryna blow out His candle
And when it feels like it’s too much to handle
Christ died for all of the above, He’s the answer
Like David, I’mma turn into a dancer
A thousand might fall on my side, but it’s all good
I defeated enemies, and sang music so sweet
Still tryna kill me, Lord is Saul good?
If we the salt and the light of the world,
Then God is electricity
You’ll feel it if we ever meet
If we the salt and the light of the world,
Then to shine is a necessity
You’ll find it in the recipe

Bridge
This little light of mine
I’m gonna let it shine x4

Chorus
Let it shine
Let it shine
I won’t hide my light
I’ll keep burning bright
And, let it shine
Let it shine
For all to see 
The world needs me
To shine

3.15.20 

We are all but filthy rags compared to the holiness of God. 
Yet, we've been called to be like God; we've been called to be holy. And I want to be holy. But, see, I can’t make myself holy. 
So, I ask God, “Wring me”. I need Your perfect grace and mercy to be the source of my righteousness. I cannot achieve it by my own good works or good deeds. 
Trying to earn my own holiness would be like washing filthy rags with dirty water...
The cleanest/purest/holiest/best we could ever make ourselves to be is like filthy rags to God.
Isaiah 64:6

____________

LYRICS
Verse 1
I lay me down
In surrender 
Before Your throne, I bow
Pleading Your grace
Like a river
Rush over me, and cleanse me now 

Pre Chorus
Thank You for Your mercy,
Cuz I can’t make me holy myself

And even if I tried to
It’d be like cleaning filthy rags with dirty water
Dirty water...

Chorus
But You take my rags
And turn them into riches
And You take my thorns
And trade them for a crown
Only You can make me pure and holy 
So send Your crimson waters flowing down

Verse 2
You give me diamonds 
For my ashes 
Only Your love, can make me new

You put a ring
On my finger
Exchange my rags for a robe 

Pre Chorus 
No, it can’t be by my power
Cuz nothing I can do is enough

And anything I could do 
Would be like cleaning filthy rags with dirty water
Ooooh… 

Chorus
But You take my rags
And turn them into riches
And You take my thorns
And trade them for a crown
Only You can make me pure and holy 
So send Your crimson waters flowing down

Bridge
Wash me
Clean me
Wring me
Wring me x2
Yeah, You wash me
You clean me
You wring me
You wring me x2

Chorus
And You take my rags
And turn them into riches
And You take my thorns
And trade them for a crown
Only You can make me pure and holy
Send Your crimson waters flowing down

Verse 1 
I had a dream I had a flight to catch
Running out of space with what to pack
Moving some things around to make some space
On my mark, like I was in a race

I wanna go far away
Far away, i wanna go, i wanna go
Far away
Far away, i wanna go, i wanna go —

Verse 2
I had a dream I had a ship to board
No idea where I was crusin’ toward
Got Your call, but I pressed ignore
Now I’m here, laying out on the shore 

Chorus 2
And said I wanna go far away
Far away, i wanna go, i wanna go
Far away
Far away, i wanna go, i wanna go

Verse 3
I had a dream I had a job to do
But I woke up, and let the dream elude 
I pretend it’s something someone else can do
But now, I know I can never get away from You

Chorus 3
And even if i go far away
Far away, You never go, You never go 
Far Away
Far Away, You never go, You never go

LYRICS:
I used to wake up
Dress, do my makeup
Eat, grab my bag
Out the door

Now, when I wake up
I wanna I take up
Time, wanna be
With you, Lord

'Cause starting off my day on the right foot
Is really starting off my day with you
Starting off my day on the right foot
Is really starting off my day with you

I don't wanna go
I don't wanna go
If you don't go with me

And I don't wanna open my eyes
If I can't seek Your face

God, I acknowledge you today
For another day
That I don't deserve

'Cause I might not
Wake up, wake up, wake up
If you don't wake me up

Father, I messed up
Life got me stressed up
Slept in my makeup again

Give me the desire,
Lord, when I'm tired,
To give you the praise even then

'Cause starting off my day on the right foot
Is really starting off my day with you
Starting off my day on the right foot
Is really starting off my day with you

No, I don't wanna go
I don't wanna go
If you don't go with me (No)

And I don't wanna open my eyes
If I can't seek Your face (Oh)

I acknowledge you today
For another day
That I don't deserve

'Cause I might not
Wake up, wake up, wake up
If you don't wake me up

I was asleep in my sin, but you said,
"Wake up, wake up, wake up!"
I should be sleeping in my grave, but you said,
"Wake up, wake up, wake up!"
Dead men hear when you say,
"Wake up, wake up, wake up!"
Dead men hear when you say,
"Wake up, wake up, wake up!"

Jesus, you slept in the grave so that I'd
Wake up, wake up, wake up
And then, you rose back to life so that I'd
Wake up, wake up, wake up (Yeah)
So, I'll praise you everyday when I
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Yeah, I'll praise you everyday when I
Wake up, wake up, wake up (Woah)

I don't wanna go
I don't wanna go
If you don't go with me

And I don't wanna open my eyes
If I can't seek Your face

God, I acknowledge you today
For another day
That I don't deserve

'Cause I might not
Wake up, wake up, wake up
I might not
Wake up, wake up, wake up

No, I don't wanna go
I don't wanna go
If you don't go with me (No)

And I don't wanna open my eyes
If I can't seek Your face

God, I acknowledge you today
For another day
That I don't deserve

'Cause I might not
Wake up, wake up, wake up
If you don't wake me up

Thank you for waking me up
Thank you for waking me up

Lyrics:
VERSE 1
I don’t wanna run and hide anymore
I’ve been guarding myself
Kept my heart on a shelf
I’ve been trying not to love too hard anymore
Cuz all my hopes wouldn’t fall
If they aren’t up all

But won’t you…


CHORUS
Teach me how
To channel Your love
Help me find
The opposite of pain
Write Your laughter
On my lips
I want to love like You

VERSE 2
Create in me a rushing stream of Your joy
I want to ebb and flow
Like the waters below
Baptize me in an ocean of molten gold
Jesus, fill me with You
I’ll be a vessel for You

Won’t you…

CHORUS
Teach me how
To channel Your love
Help me find
The opposite of pain
Write Your laughter
On my lips
I want to love like You

Ohhh
(Help me love like You, Jesus)

People are hurting
And I’m hurting too.
