Shine

Here is a song that I absolutly love. Its got funny lyrics, and a catchy tune..but such a good point to it. Shine...make them wonder what you've got.
How often are you making people wonder?

Shine - Newsboys

dull as dirt
you can´t assert the kind of light
that might persuade a strict dictator to retire
fire the army
teach the poor origami

the truth is in
the proof is when
you hear your heart start asking,
"What´s my motivation?"
and try as you may,
there isn´t a way
to explain the kind of change
that would make an Eskimo renounce fur
that would make a vegetarian barbecue hamster
unless you can trace this about-face
to a certain sign...

shine
make ´em wonder what you´ve got
make ´em wish that they were not
on the outside looking bored
shine
let it shine before all men
let´em see good works, and then
let ´em glorify the Lord

out of the shaker
and onto the plate
it isn´t Karma
it sure ain´t fate
that would make a Deadhead sell his van
that would make a schizophrenic turn in his crayons
Oprah freaks
and science seeks a rationale
that shall excuse this strange behavior

when you let it shine
you will inspire the kind of entire turnaround
that would make a bouncer take ballet
even bouncers who aren´t happy
but out of the glare
with nowhere to turn
you ain´t gonna learn it on "What´s My Line?"

shine
make ´em wonder what you´ve got
make ´em wish that they were not
on the outside looking bored
shine
let it shine before all men
let´em see good works, and then
let ´em glorify the Lord

Philippians 2:14
"Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe..."
