The praise song is called "Shine, Jesus, Shine" and it goes like this:
Chorus:
Shine, Jesus, shine, fill this land with the Father’s glory,
Blaze, Spirit, blaze, set our hearts on fire;
Flow, river, flow, flood the nations with grace and mercy,
Send forth Your word, Lord, and let there be light.
1) 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.
2) Lord, I come to Your awesome presence
From the shadows into Your radiance;
By Your life I may enter your brightness,
Search me, try me, consume all my darkness.
Shine on me, shine on me.
3) As we gaze on Your kingly brightness,
So our faces display Your likeness;
Ever changing from glory to glory,
Mirrored here may our lives tell Your story.
Shine on me, shine on me.
