Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm
Hmm-hmm, hmm-oh
Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm
Hmm-hmm
Lord, when I'm broken (when I'm broken)
And I'm in need (I'm in need)
Feel that ocean (feel that ocean)
Swallowing me (swallowing me)
Head is hanging (head is hanging)
So sorrowfully (so sorrowfully)
Oh, Lord (ooh-ooh)
Come shine Your light on me (shine Your light on me)
On that morning (on that morning)
Scared and blue (scared and blue)
When I'm hungry (when I'm hungry)
And thirsty too (thirsty too)
Send this raindrop (send this raindrop)
Down to the sea (down to the sea)
Oh, Lord (ooh-ooh)
Come shine Your light on me (shine Your light on me)
Oh, shine a light (oh, shine a light)
Oh, shine a light (oh, shine a light)
And I know that in the darkness I'm alright (ooh-ooh; I'm alright)
See there's no Sun rising (ooh-ooh)
But inside I'm free (ooh-ooh)
'Cause the Lord will shine a light for me
(Shine a light on me)
Oh, the Lord will shine a light on me
(Shine a light on me)
Sing-it-now
Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm
Hmm-hmm, hmm-oh
Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm
Hmm-hmm, hmm-oh
Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm
Hmm-hmm, hmm-oh
Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm
Hmm-hmm
Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm
