You Can't Be A Beacon (If Your Light Don't Shine)

You can't be a beacon if your light don't shine

You can't be a beacon if your light don't shine

There's a little light in all of us by God's design

But you can't be a beacon if your light don't shine

How can you ask for truth when you do not truthful live?

How can you ask forgiveness when you don't forgive?

I don't mean to bring you down or speak to you unkind

But you can't be a beacon if your light don't shine

You can't be a beacon if your light don't shine

You can't be a beacon if your light don't shine

There's a little light in all of us by God's design

But you can't be a beacon if your light don't shine

How can you ask a child to be honest and true

When he can only judge what's right by what he sees in you?

How can you offer vision yet walk around blind?

No, you can't see a beacon if its light don't shine

You can't be a beacon if your light don't shine

You can't be a beacon if your light don't shine

There's a little light in all of us by God's design

But you can't be a beacon if your light don't shine

May God's love surround you, may you find a brighter day

May He grant you the peace you seek in every way

God's light burns in each life, yours and mine

And you can be a beacon if you just let it shine

You can be a beacon if you let it shine

You can be a beacon if you let it shine

There's a little light in all of us by God's design

You can be a beacon if you let it shine

You can be a beacon if you let it shine

You can be a beacon if you let it shine

There's a little light in all of us by God's design

You can be a beacon if you let it shine

You can be a beacon if you let it shine

You can be a beacon if you let it shine

There's a little light in all of us by God's design

You can be a beacon if you let it shine
