I want to strike a match / Let it burn ‘til the world’s on fire / I want to see a chain reaction / And see the flames burn higher / I want to see Your Word alive / I want to see the orphans laughing / Want to see the sinners cry / Surrounded by the hands of mercy / The hands of mercy, so // Shine, love is an action / Shine, oh, it starts with a passion / ‘Cause we want to be a heart that’s pure / So all will see that we are Yours / Shine // And though it starts with one / There will be a million candles / There will be millions more / Singing with the tongues of angels / The light of Heaven falling down / Spreading love to the darkest places / I want to strike a match / And watch it bring salvation // I’m gonna lift my light up high / (Love is an action) / I’m gonna let my love burn bright / (It starts with a passion) / I’m gonna lift my light up high / (So all will see that we are Yours) / I’m gonna let my love burn bright / (Let it burn, let it burn) // I want to strike a match / Let it burn, Let it burn / I’ll let it burn

Behind the Song:
“Shine (Love is an Action)” is an anthem to turn the word love from just a word to a compassionate and vivid action. We pray this song and concept becomes an anthem for all who stand for hope, love, truth, and justice in a world that desperately needs to be re-united with their Creator.” – Sam Hancock (Luminate)
