Inspired by lyrics to “Go Out and Shine” by Sue Riley, Glen Roethel, and Melinda Wood Allen:
Keeping my thoughts centered on what I want to see in my life and letting kindness be my guide, I go out and shine my light!
I see the world, not as it seems, but as I am, and I am in unity with God: one voice, one hand, one heart.
If I want a change, I make a start. I go out and shine!
I am a child of God and I act like one. I am a radiating center of peace and love. I go out and shine my light!
It is up to me to see the world and all its people rightly – as God’s children.
We’re one big family and what’s good for you is good for me. Let’s go out and shine!
