LIGHT THROUGH THE SHADOWS Verse 1 I’ve stood where sirens split the night, Seen things I still can’t leave behind. Carried home what no one knew, And learned what silence makes you do. I shut the door and wore the smile, Said, “I’m all right,” for quite a while. But in the dark I couldn’t hide From the One who never left my side. Pre-Chorus I thought that strength meant standing tall, Never needing help at all— Then through the cracks of all I’d known, His light found its way home. Chorus There’s light through the shadows, Mercy in the night, Jesus in the darkness Saying, “Child, I’m by your side.” When I can’t outrun the memories, When I don’t know where to go, There’s light through the shadows— And I’m never walking alone. Verse 2 There are nights the past comes back Like footsteps somewhere down the hall. Names and faces, sounds and places, Things I wish I could forget them all. But I’ve learned healing isn’t weakness, And faith doesn’t mean I never fall. It means when I don’t have the strength, I know the One on whom to call. Pre-Chorus I don’t have to hide the wounds Or pretend they aren’t there— The Savior who was wounded too Still meets me in my prayer. Chorus There’s light through the shadows, Mercy in the night, Jesus in the darkness Saying, “Child, I’m by your side.” When I can’t outrun the memories, When I don’t know where to go, There’s light through the shadows— And I’m never walking alone. Bridge He never promised I would walk A road untouched by pain, But He promised He would be with me Through the fire and through the rain. And when my hands can’t hold tomorrow, When yesterday won’t let me go, I don’t need to see the whole way— Just the Light enough to know… Final Chorus There’s light through the shadows, Mercy in the night, Jesus in the darkness— And He has never left my side. I may still remember everything, But the darkness doesn’t own my soul. There’s light through the shadows— And I’m never walking alone. Outro I don’t know what tomorrow holds, But I know the One who does. There’s light through the shadows… And His name is Jesus.
