Lyrics: When we are victims of unharnessed hate, ambushed by evil in-

—Page 4—
vading our space, threat'ning the values that we all embrace Your light re-

—Page 5—
kindles loving grace. Shine through our tears and

—Page 6—
make rainbows appear; appear; shine through our tears (through our

—Page 7—
tears) and make rainbows appear.

—Page 8—
When, with no warning, such tumult we see; gunshots and

—Page 9—
panic and nowhere to flea; such terror and hatred engulf lives in hell

—Page 10—
Your light can break the devil's spell. Shine through our tears

—Page 11—
and make rainbows appear; appear; shine through our

—Page 12—
tears (through our tears) and make rainbows appear.

—Page 13—
When in this dreadfulness the

—Page 14—
innocent die; snatched from their families without a goodbye; grieving and

—Page 15—
emptiness encumber our souls - Your light's the love that will console.

—Page 16—
Shine, Lord shine through our tears, (through our tears) and make rainbows appear;

—Page 17—
Shine, Lord shine through our tears, (through our tears) and make

—Page 18—
rainbows appear. Shine, shine, shine, shine.

—Page 19—
Shine through our tears; shine through our tears.

—Page 20—
Oh, Lord, shine through out tears and make rainbows ap-

—Page 21—
pear, rainbows appear.
