Keep On

(album: This Is The Hour - 2023)

Is it just me or does everything feel different?
Like it's darker somehow, like the light has had its moment
But like any good story there's a moment when
The Light reveals where it's always been
And the days we spent believing suddenly matter

So keep on shining and doing good
Even when it's the hardest thing you've done
Even when no one's looking
There's a promise if you don't give up
The time will come when your fields will ripen
With the morning sun
And the harvest that you reap will carry you
So keep on shining
Yes, keep on shining

I know what it's like to be weary in the hidden
When you keep your head down
With the hopes you're growing something
And maybe it's been awhile since you've heard it
That there's beauty in all this work you do
With the life of God in you
And oh how it matters

So keep on shining and doing good
Even when it's the hardest thing you've done
Even when no one's looking
There's a promise if you don't give up
The time will come when your fields will ripen
With the morning sun
And the harvest that you reap will carry you
So keep on shining
Yes, keep on shining

Oh it's His life, oh it's His love
Yea it's His light shining in you
Like the aspen trees in a mountain breeze that's you
And what a difference you are making
No it wouldn't be the same without you
Like the sunset after a summer rain that's you
Yea, it's His life, His love and light in you

So keep on
Keep on shining and doing good
Even when it's the hardest thing you've done
Even when no one's looking
There's a promise if you don't give up
The time will come when your fields will ripen
With the morning sun
And the harvest that you reap will carry you
Yes, the harvest that you reap will carry you
So, keep on shining
Keep on shining

Keep on shining, 'cause it matters!
Keep on shining, 'cause it matters!
Keep on shining, 'cause it matters!
