[Verse]
D G D G Precious angel, under the sun D G Bm G How was I to know you’d be the one D/F# G D/A G To show me I was blinded, to show me I was gone D G Bm G How weak was the foundation I was standing upon?
[Verse]
D G D G Now there’s spiritual warfare and flesh and blood breaking down D G Bm G Ya either got faith or ya got unbelief and there ain’t no neutral ground D/F# G D/A G The enemy is subtle, how be it we are so deceived D G Bm G When the truth’s in our hearts and we still don’t believe?
[Chorus]
D/F# G D/A G Shine your light, shine your light on me D/F# G D/A G Shine your light, shine your light on me D/F# G D/A G Shine your light, shine your light on me Bm D/A Ya know I just couldn't make it by myself G Em G/A I'm a little too blind to see

[Verse]
D G D G My so-called friends have fallen under a spell D G Bm G They look me squarely in the eye and they say, “All is well” D/F# G D/A G Can they imagine the darkness that will fall from on high D G Bm G When men will beg God to kill them and they won’t be able to die?
[Verse]
D G D G Sister, lemme tell you about a vision I saw D G Bm G You were drawing water for your husband, you were suffering under the law D/F# G D/A G You were telling him about Buddha, you were telling him about Mohammed in one breath D G Bm G You never mentioned one time the Man who came and died a criminal’s death
[Chorus]
D/F# G D/A G Shine your light, shine your light on me D/F# G D/A G Shine your light, shine your light on me D/F# G D/A G Shine your light, shine your light on me Bm D/A Ya know I just couldn't make it by myself G Em G/A I'm a little too blind to see

[Verse]
D G D G Precious angel, you believe me when I say D G Bm G What God has given to us no man can take away D/F# G D/A G We are covered in blood, girl, you know our forefathers were slaves D G Bm G Let us hope they’ve found mercy in their bone-filled graves
[Verse]
D G D G You’re the queen of my flesh, girl, you’re my woman, you’re my delight D G Bm G You’re the lamp of my soul, girl, and you torch up the night D/F# G D/A G But there’s violence in the eyes, girl, so let us not be enticed D G Bm G On the way out of Egypt, through Ethiopia, to the judgment hall of Christ
[Chorus]
D/F# G D/A G Shine your light, shine your light on me D/F# G D/A G Shine your light, shine your light on me D/F# G D/A G Shine your light, shine your light on me Bm D/A Ya know I just couldn't make it by myself G Em G/A I'm a little too blind to see
