The greatest gift, the gift of life

The gift of love divine

God gave us all a special gift

He meant for it to shine

He meant for it to shine

The darkest night can be made light

By one bright word or smile

If we'd put on our neighbor's shoes

And choose to walk a mile

God gave us all our own free will

To choose the paths we take

No greater deed could e'er be done

Than for another's sake

The greatest gift, the gift of life

The gift of love divine

God gave us all a special gift

He meant for it to shine

He meant for it to shine



Shine on, shine on, for all to see

God's light inside your soul

Shine on, shine on, let love flow free

Warm others in its glow

Shine on, shine on, shine on

So hide it not or it will fade

Shine on, shine on, shine on

Shine on, shine on, shine on



The greatest gift, the gift of life

The gift of love divine

God gave us all a special gift

He meant for it to shine

Shine on, shine on, shine on
