The Shine

about

In this material age is there anything that lasts? Is there any chrome that doesn't rust? The things we so often admire are fleeting at best. What happens to all the must-have Christmas toys after the luster of novelty has faded? Where do we turn when our bodies become less beautiful and begin to fail?

The desire buried in each of us for enduring joy can only find its resolution in experiencing the love of our eternal Creator King. Christ is the only Beauty that is ever-new; the One which we desperately long to know and be changed into. His glory shines brighter than all our gleaming possessions, let alone all of the galaxies He’s made. Come to Him this day and receive His love which you will find is also peace and rest, and yes, enduring joy.

lyrics

You are the gift under the tree
That I will never tire of playing with
The song that I could sing
And never need to catch my breath

The shine never wears off of You
The shine never wears off of You
Where could I find beauty so ancient and new
The shine never wears off of You

You are the feeling that I chase
The one for which I know I'm made
My body's weak and tired
You're the permanence I crave

The shine never wears off of You
The shine never wears off of You
Where could I find beauty so ancient and new
The shine never wears off of You

And if all the stars were merged into one
Still they wouldn't come close
And if all I have blazed like the sun
Still it wouldn't come close

The shine never wears off of You
The shine never wears off of You
Where could I find beauty so ancient and new
The shine never wears off

Andrew Joseph Connell Newark, Delaware

Andrew Joseph Connell writes songs for the King who saves and sanctifies. His roots are in Delaware, the Small Wonder, where he serves his local church. Each year he seems unable to escape the wonder of the incarnation and so much of his catalog fits into the unconventional Christmas category. He prays his songs are like a glass before your eye, that sets your gaze on Jesus. ... more
