"You Can't Be A Beacon If Your Light Don't Shine" lyrics - THE BLIND BOYS OF ALABAMA

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

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 it's 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
Hit me with your best song, Todd
