Shine This Light - Marley's Ghost

Shine this light, sufferin' in the dark night, in the night of my soul

Well, you stop and read about Jonah, way down in Canaan land

He would not do his Lord’s will, he was smitten by His hand

Cast out into the ocean and swallowed by a whale

Three days and nights he saw not light, his strength began to fail

But he turned his heart to heaven — «Lord, I am in Your hands!»

«Then do My will, you cannot fail».

He was delivered on dry land

Singin'…

Well, you read about the Hebrew children and their trial in Babylon

Old Nebuchadnezzar had an idol of gold and he said all must bow down

He cried unto his people, «Worship my god, you will!»

But when all of Babylon had bowed down, the children stood there still

They were brought before Nebuchadnezzar and he threw them in the fire

But the Angel came and cooled the flames and they prayed to God on high

Singin'…

Won’t you'…

Well, you read about Paul the Apostle, the one that was called Saul

Sent by the priests from Jerusalem to bind the Christians all

On his way down to Damascus, cut down by a mighty light;

«Know that I am the Lord thy God, in three days, I’ll return your sight.»

Those with him could not understand 'cause he could not explain

He was reborn, he had been shown the power of God’s Name!

Won’t you'
