Shine Lyrics

Lord, don't remember my sins
My sins from my youth
Don't remember my sins
And father, please remove my transgressions
Let them blow in the wind like sand
'Cause all of my deeds, you know them

Use me as your vessel
I want to shine like the candle
Shine like the burning candle in the room

Lord, don't remember, oh, don't remember
And father, please remove my transgressions
Let them blow in the wind like sand
'Cause all of my deeds, you know them

Use me as your vessel
I want to shine (Shine) like the candle
Shine like the burning candle in the room
Don't remember me as a dark old man walking
I don't wanna be like the Israel children

Lord, don't remember, oh, don't remember
My sins from my youth

What is the Meaning of Shine?

Immersed in a plea for forgiveness, this soulful ballad is an intimate dialogue with the divine. The lyricist implores not to be remembered for his youthful transgressions, asking instead for them to be swept away like sand in the wind. He yearns to be used as a vessel of light, aspiring to shine brightly and positively influence those around him. There's also a desire to avoid the fate of 'the Israel children', indicating a wish not to wander aimlessly or live without purpose. This song beautifully captures the universal human aspiration towards redemption and transformation, and the longing to leave behind a legacy of light rather than darkness. #Redemption #Transformation #LegacyOfLight
