"Shine"

I was listening to one of my many Kieth Urban cd's in the car on the way to Bible study last night when this song came on. Now, usually when I think of this song the first thing in my mind is not that it could be a religious song.... but last night when I listened to it I thought about it differently... Especially the line that says, "Oh don't sit there with your heart under lock & key
Just gimmie one chance and baby I can set you free." When I heard it, it hit me... that is what Jesus is waiting for patiently... for us to unlock and open up our hearts to Him... He is waiting to be the brightest light for us and the only ones who are blocking that light from being there for us is ourselves... Good song. :)

Shine
by Keith Urban

Winter's weighin on your shoulders
It's hangin around a little too long
And I can see it in your eyes
You've taken on a load that's just too strong
Oh but let me get down to the heart of the matter
Baby if you want I can make it better now

When the sun is hard to find
When it's rainin in your eyes
When the shadows block those pretty little blue skies living inside you
When the fallin of your tears, makes a candle disappear
When you just can't see the light
Baby I'll find a way to shine
I'll find a way to shine

Everybody's got a cross to carry
Everybody's got a story they can tell
Ya know you're not the only one counting on a quarter & wishin well
Woah don't you sit there with your heart under lock & key
Gimmie one chance baby, I can set you free

When the sun is hard to find
When it's rainin in your eyes
When the shadows block those pretty little blue skies living inside you
When the fallin of your tears, makes a candle disappear
When you just can't see the light
Baby I'll find a way to shine
I'll find a way to shine

Sometimes in this life good luck don't shine like it suppose to do
When there's no one you can trust
And they just keep on givin up on you
Baby don't ya know that I won't ever let ya down
Come on now…wooo

[Guitar solo]

Oh don't sit there with your heart under lock & key
Just gimmie one chance and baby I can set you free

When the sun is hard to find
When it's rainin in your eyes
And the shadows block those pretty little blue skies living inside you
When the fallin of your tears, makes a candle disappear
And you just can't see the light
Baby I'll find a way to shine
I'll find a way to shine
Find a way to shine
Find a way to shine
You know I'll find a way

Find a way
Find a way
