Let It Shine---Laura Zucker

The puddles are all frozen, gray skies draw near
No one can quite figure out how we lost another year
Decorations dazzle all around the neighborhood
Inviting us to fill our hearts with cheer

Let them shine, like diamonds in the night
Let them fill us up with light
So we can shine upon each other like the stars above
With the greatest miracle- love.

Judah and his brothers were a powerful clan.
They re-sanctified their temple and reclaimed their land
And as a heavenly tribute for their courage and toil
They got eight days of light from one jar of oil

Let it shine, like a diamond in the night
Let it fill us up with light
So we can shine upon each other like the stars above
With the greatest miracle- love.

In deepest darkest winter a child was born
Said to come to save a world that was tattered and torn
The Kings who came to witness, who had travelled so far
Were beckoned by the beacon of a star

Let it shine, like a diamond in the night
Let it fill us up with light
So we can shine upon each other like the stars above
With the greatest miracle- love.

It doesn’t matter who you pray to
Sharing the love is the way to
Let them shine, like diamonds in the night
Let them fill us up with light
So we can shine upon each other like the stars above
With the greatest miracle- love.
