Oh To Be the Moon
 Music and lyrics by Christine Vales


If you want to know what it means to be a Christian, all you have to do is look at the moon. The only way we can see the moon, is due to the sun’s light reflecting off of it. This is a picture of a Christian. Without the light of the God in our life, we are just like the moon would be without the sun… drifting around in circles in the dark. But, when the moon meets the sun, the moon is given purpose, meaning, direction and life! The only thing the moon has to do is to recognize and receive the sun. That’s what it means to be a Christian…receiving the light of the Son, Jesus- and to shine His light on to others! To be empowered by a Light that is not our own, but His. Oh to be the moon, that’s what I wanna be…everyday. (Psalms 8:3, 18:28, 19:1-4, 2 Corinthians 3:18, 4:6, Hebrews 1:3)

Oh to be the moon – is what I wanna be
To be a mirror way up high
And to be the moon- I’d be set apart
Shining brightly in a dark blue sky
To be a reflection of the Mighty One
To be a testimony when we can not see the sun- and

CHORUS:
Shine Shine Shine
With a light that’s not my own
Down upon a world that can’t live without You- and
Climb Climb Climb
Higher to become a better image of the Son –Oh to be the moon

You illuminate my life with the falling of Your rays
Into the craters of my heart
And through each phase of mine-You never leave me ‘lone- no You don’t- no
No - You guide me through the darkness and Your light leads me home
‘Cause I was so cold and lonely – my heart was hardening
But now I got Your spirit in me and all I can do is sing-and

CHORUS

I wanna be like You- so light up my life
‘Cause I was was so cold and lonely – my heart was hardening
But now I got Your spirit in me and all I can do is sing

CHORUS/ CHORUS/ wanna be the moon--oooh…
