///*****/// // Lamp in the Window // Lyrics © 2026 Joshua Sloan // Kindness Matters Music Productions [Intro | dulcimer + fingerpicked guitar] [Verse 1] You let that Bible fall on the kitchen floor Said "Mama, your lamp don't light my way no more" You walked out into the pouring rain I lit the lamp that night, it ain't gone out [Pre-Chorus | piano enters] The Word is a lamp unto your feet A light in the window - come and see [Chorus | full warm arrangement] There's a lamp in the window Come on home, come on home Your coat's still on the peg And the door's unlatched There's a lamp in the window Come on home [Verse 2] My daddy lit this lamp for me He'd read the Word so I'd believe He's long since gone, but the verse stayed with me - "A lamp to your feet, a light to your path" [Pre-Chorus] The Word is a lamp when you can't see A light in the window - come back to me [Chorus | fuller arrangement] There's a lamp in the window Come on home, come on home Your coat's still on the peg And the door's unlatched There's a lamp in the window Come on home [Bridge | strip back to dulcimer + vocal] Some nights I count the headlights down the road Some nights I count the years you've been away But the Lord broke the silence in my kitchen last night - "You're the lamp now, mother - and I am the flame" [Final Chorus | key change up, full band] There's a lamp in the window And it's His, it's His own light Your coat's still on the peg And the door's unlatched There's a lamp in the window Come on home Come on home Come on home [End]
