Lyrics

Let your light shine where­so­e’er you go,
Someone is look­ing to you!
Brighter each day let it gleam and glow,
Someone is look­ing to you!

Refrain

Looking to you, yes, look­ing to you!
Let your light shine the dark­ness through;
O be faith­ful, be loy­al, and true,
For someone is look­ing to you!

Someone is grop­ing his way to God,
Someone is look­ing to you!
Following on where your feet have trod,
Someone is look­ing to you!

Refrain

Someone your coun­sel will surely take,
Someone is look­ing to you!
And by your life his de­ci­sion make,
Someone is look­ing to you!

Refrain

Someone has al­most ac­cept­ed Him,
Someone is look­ing to you!
And may be lost if your light grows dim,
Someone is look­ing to you!

Refrain
