TBC Songs
Built to Love
In 1981, Stephen Waldron wrote about the TBC Centenary Musical "Built to Love"
"Two pictures emerged of the church as wonderful sources of ideas and images - the people of God as a temple of Living Stones, and God's people as a body. Within two weeks I had written all but one of the songs, such was the real inspiration that I felt came from God, and as time progressed it developed into a series of songs linked by narration and illustrated with dance and mime."

We are meant to be
A caring family,
That the world might see
We are built to love.
God distributes gifts,
So each one benefits;
When one falls others lift;
We are built to love.
Holy we must be
Or God will not see;
We must speak honestly,
For we are built to love.
Let us tell our friends,
God's new life never ends;
We've eternal life to spend;
We are built to love.
We are built to love,
We are built to love,
We are built to love,
We are built to love.

Chorus
One, we are one,
We are one in the Body of the Son.
One, it's been done,
We've been won by the Son,
We are one.
Body, Body of the Son,
Moving, moving as one,
With the Son.
Holy, holiness He brings,
Follow, following the King,
As we sing:
Beauty, beautiful His bride,
Chosen, choosing to live by His side,
That's why He died.
Shine Jesus Shine
Lord, the light of Your love is shining,
In the midst of the darkness, shining;
Jesus, Light of the world, shine upon us,
Set us free by the truth You now bring us,
Shine on me, shine on me.
Chorus
Shine, Jesus, shine,
Fill this land with the Father's glory;
Blaze, Spirit, blaze,
Set our hearts on fire.
Flow, river, flow,
Flood the nations with grace and mercy;
Send forth Your word,
Lord, and let there be light.
Lord, I come to Your awesome presence,
From the shadows into Your radiance;
By the blood I may enter Your brightness,
Search me, try me, consume all my darkness.
Shine on me, shine on me.
Chorus
As we gaze on Your kingly brightness
So our faces display Your likeness.
Ever changing from glory to glory,
Mirrored here may our lives tell Your story.
Shine on me, shine on me.
Chorus
