Oh shine, shine a light on me
The door, open up and set me free
I hear, I hear you calling me
You got to open up and shine your lovin' light on me

My hands are dirty but
My heart is ready
My knees are weak but my back is strong and
The hand on the plow is steady

Oh shine, shine a light on me
The door, open up and set me free
I hear, I hear you calling me
You got to open up and shine your lovin' light on me

My daddy told me
Every morning
Got to put your shoulder up against the stone
It don't matter if you ever get it rollin'

Oh shine, shine a light on me
The door, open up and set me free
I hear, I hear you calling me
You got to open up and shine your lovin' light on me

There's a train a comin'
I can see the headlight
All God's children gonna get on board
There ain't nobody gonna be left behind

Oh shine, shine a light on me
The door, open up and set me free
I hear, I hear you calling me
You got to open up and shine your lovin' light on me...

Open up and shine your lovin' light on me
Open up and shine your lovin' light on me
Oh, shine on me
