Raise a church that's shining bright.

I want to follow but what does it mean
    Em
To live in this world and keep ev'rything clean?

Nothing I own here is ever my own

When I live in the mercy and blessing You've shown

I lay down my rights,
See the world through Your eyes,
     Em7 
And fight for the hungry who pay for our lives.
C
I want to have You in all of my world

So Jesus consume me, flow through me,

'cause now is the  for us to shine.
