Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ooh
Ooh
[Verse 2]
Say, baby, you know I want you
To let your light come shinin' through
Oh, baby, baby why don't you
Just let your love come shinin' through?
[Verse 3]
Baby, no need to worry
Let your love come shinin' through
Honey, when in trouble
Let your love come shinin' through
[Verse 4]
Oh, baby, you'll be happy
When your light come shinin' through
Ooh, baby, life is a party
And you let your love come shinin' through
[Verse 5]
Let it shine, baby
Let it shine, baby
Let it shine, baby
Let it shine, baby
Shine all the time
Shine and be kind
Then you'll feel fine
Then you'll be mine
[Verse 6]
Baby, life is worth livin'
If you let your love come shinin' through
Oh, baby, the world is mellow
When you let your love come shinin' through
[Verse 7]
Mmm, baby
You look so pretty while you dancin', baby
Shinin'
Look so pretty, shinin', shinin'
Keep on shinin', shinin'
Shinin', shinin'
You look so pretty, shinin'
[Verse 8]
Oh, baby
Let your love come shinin' through
Oh, darling
Mmm, let your light come shinin' through
[Verse 9]
Ooh, baby, the world is waitin'
So let your light come shinin' through
Stevie, we really dig you
Hope you don't mind this riff from you
[Verse 10]
Oh, praise Him when you go to work
Praise Him when your feelings are hurt
Praise Him when your feeling bad
Praise Him when your feeling sad
[Verse 11]
All praises to the power, aw yeah (Praise)
Praise Him by the love you give
Praise Him by the way you live
Praise Him even when you dance and make romance
(Let your light come shinin' through, baby)
When you make romance
[Verse 12]
Praise Him when you got no time
Praise Him whether rain or shine
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
(Shine, shine, shine, shine)
Praise Him for the sun-lighted sky
Praise Him for the moonlight
[Verse 13]
Praise Him for the water
(Praise summer love)
Praise Him for the weather
Praise Him with thy might and soul
Just praise Him with thy money bowl
[Verse 14]
Praise Him by the words you speak
You cause happiness, can't you see baby?
Praise Him every single day
Praise Him in all kinds of ways
Praise Him from the mountaintop
Just praise Him even at a show
[Verse 15]
(Praise) All praises to the power, yeah, yeah, yeah
Better praise Him every day
Praise him in a special way
Praise Him
