[Verse]
Eb Ab Eb Ab Precious angel, under the sun Eb Ab Cm Ab How was I to know you’d be the one Eb Ab Eb Ab To show me I was blinded, to show me I was gone Eb Ab Cm Ab How weak was the foundation I was standing upon?
[Verse]
Eb Ab Eb Ab Now there’s spiritual warfare and flesh and blood breaking down Eb Ab Cm Ab Ya either got faith or ya got unbelief and there ain’t no neutral ground Eb Ab Eb Ab The enemy is subtle, how be it we are so deceived Eb Ab Cm Ab When the truth’s in our hearts and we still don’t believe?
[Chorus]
Eb Ab Eb Ab Shine your light, shine your light on me Eb Ab Eb Ab Shine your light, shine your light on me Eb Ab Eb Ab Shine your light, shine your light on me Cm Eb Ya know I just couldn't make it by myself Ab Fm Abadd9 I'm a little too blind to see
[Interlude]

[Verse]
Eb Ab Eb Ab My so-called friends have fallen under a spell Eb Ab Cm Ab They look me squarely in the eye and they say, “All is well” Eb Ab Eb Ab Can they imagine the darkness that will fall from on high Eb Ab Cm Ab When men will beg God to kill them and they won’t be able to die?
[Verse]
Eb Ab Eb Ab Sister, lemme tell you about a vision I saw Eb Ab Cm Ab You were drawing water for your husband, you were suffering under the law Eb Ab Eb Ab You were telling him about Buddha, you were telling him about Mohammed in one breath Eb Ab Cm Ab You never mentioned one time the Man who came and died a criminal’s death
[Chorus]
Eb Ab Eb Ab Shine your light, shine your light on me Eb Ab Eb Ab Shine your light, shine your light on me Eb Ab Eb Ab Shine your light, shine your light on me Cm Eb Ya know I just couldn't make it by myself Ab Fm Abadd9 I'm a little too blind to see
[Interlude]

[Verse]
Eb Ab Eb Ab Precious angel, you believe me when I say Eb Ab Cm Ab What God has given to us no man can take away Eb Ab Eb Ab We are covered in blood, girl, you know our forefathers were slaves Eb Ab Cm Ab Let us hope they’ve found mercy in their bone-filled graves
[Verse]
Eb Ab Eb Ab You’re the queen of my flesh, girl, you’re my woman, you’re my delight Eb Ab Cm Ab You’re the lamp of my soul, girl, and you torch up the night Eb Ab Eb Ab But there’s violence in the eyes, girl, so let us not be enticed Eb Ab Cm Ab On the way out of Egypt, through Ethiopia, to the judgment hall of Christ
[Chorus]
Eb Ab Eb Ab Shine your light, shine your light on me Eb Ab Eb Ab Shine your light, shine your light on me Eb Ab Eb Ab Shine your light, shine your light on me Cm Eb Ya know I just couldn't make it by myself Ab Fm Abadd9 I'm a little too blind to see
[Outro]
Eb Ab Eb Ab (Shine your light, shine your light on me) Eb Ab Eb Ab (Shine your light, shine your light on me) Eb Ab Eb Ab (Shine your light, shine your light on me) Eb Ab Eb Ab (Shine your light, shine your light on me)
