(Long Introduction)

(Verse 1)
Where are the poor, the lost, and the lame
These are the ones for whom Jesus came
In all that we do
In all that we say
Don't wait for tomorrow
Live for today

(Verse 2)
We are His hands and touch those in need
We are His feet and go where He leads
Faith calls for action
Soon after we pray
Don't wait for tomorrow
Live for today

(Chorus)
Shine the light
Piercing the night
Don't wait for tomorrow
Live for today

(Verse 3)
There is a man out on the street
He's tired and hungry has nothing to eat
Reach out your hand
Show him the way
Don't wait for tomorrow
Live for today

(Bridge)
We sow and reap
It slips through our hands
We store and save
What becomes of our plans
God will feed us
God will provide
He is our Daily Bread

(Repeat Chorus)
Shine the light
Piercing the night
Don't wait for tomorrow
Live for today
