Words by Graham KendrickMusic by Graham KendrickWritten 1987Tune SHINE, JESUS, SHINE
Lord, the light of Your love is shining,
In the midst of the darkness, shining;
Jesus, Light of the world, shine upon us;
Set us free by the truth You now bring us;
Shine on me, shine on me.
Shine, Jesus, shine,
Fill this land with the Father's glory;
Blaze, Spirit, blaze,
Set our hearts on fire.
Flow, river, flow,
Story Behind the Song
“Shine, Jesus, Shine” was written by British worship songwriter Graham Kendrick in 1987 and published through Make Way Music. It became one of the best-known songs of the late twentieth-century charismatic and contemporary worship movement, especially in the United Kingdom. The text is a prayer for Christ’s light and glory to fill the church and the nations, drawing strongly on biblical imagery of light, glory, and renewal.
