Shine On Us (Psalm 4)

words by Gary Hicks, copyright 2010 Gary L. Hicks
tune: “Scarborough Fair” (traditional Scots/English folk tune)

Hear me, God, to heaven I call
In Your mercy answer my prayer
And may the light, the light of Your face
Shine on us, O, shine on us.

Men will turn Your glory to shame
They will love delusion and lies
But You have set Your children apart
Shine on us, O, shine on us.

Teach me, God, to listen for You
On my bed in silence I lie
O search my heart, Lord, quiet my mind
Shine on us, O, shine on us.

By Your grace I trust and obey
All my anger lost in the flow
My heart alive with wonder and joy
Shine on us, O, shine on us.

I lie down and slumber in peace
You alone my fortress, my rock
And You alone, my wonder and joy
Shine on us, O, shine on us.

When You shine, the darkness is gone
When You shine, the morning appears
And in Your blessing, wonder and joy
Shine on us, O, shine on us.
