Precious angelunder the sun
How was I to know you d be the one
To show me I was blindedto show me I was gone
How weak was the foundation I was standing upon?
Now there s spiritual warfare and flesh and blood breaking down.
Ya either got faith or ya got unbelief and there ain t no neutral ground.
The enemy is subtlehow be it we are so deceived
When the truth s in our hearts and we still don t believe?
Shine your lightshine your light on me
Shine your lightshine your light on me
Shine your lightshine your light on me
Ya know I just couldn t make it by myself.
I m a little too blind to see.
My so-called friends have fallen under a spell.
They look me squarely in the eye and they say"All is well."
Can they imagine the darkness that will fall from on high
When men will beg God to kill them and they won t be able to die?
Sisterlemme tell you about a vision I saw.
You were drawing water for your husbandyou were suffering under the law.
You were telling him about Buddhayou were telling him about Mohammed
in the same breath.
You never mentioned one time the Man who came and died a criminal s death.
Shine your lightshine your light on me
Shine your lightshine your light on me
Shine your lightshine your light on me
Ya know I just couldn t make it by myself.
I m a little too blind to see.
Precious angelyou believe me when I say
What God has given to us no man can take away.
We are covered in bloodgirlyou know our forefathers were slaves.
Let us hope they ve found mercy in their bone-filled graves.
You re the queen of my fleshgirlyou re my womanyou re my delight
You re the lamp of my soulgirland you touch up the night.
But there s violence in the eyesgirlso let us not be enticed
On the way out of Egyptthrough Ethiopiato the judgment hall of Christ.
Shine your lightshine your light on me
Shine your lightshine your light on me
Shine your lightshine your light on me
Ya know I just couldn t make it by myself.
I m a little too blind to see.
