Where the Light Still Shines

🎵 **Where the Light Still Shines** *(Slow country-gospel ballad, 3/4 waltz feel. Gentle piano, slide guitar, and soft choir harmonies. Female earthy contralto.)* --- **Intro** (*soft guitar and piano, faint bells*) Snow on the windows, a hush in the pines, Stillness is singin’—that holy kind. --- **Verse 1** Mama’s old Bible’s open on the chair, Smells like cinnamon, cedar, and prayer. Every page turned feels like home, Every word says, “You’re not alone.” --- **Chorus** 🎶 *Where the light still shines,* _In the darkest night, love still finds._ _When the fire burns low and the tears fall slow,_ _There’s a grace that never dies._ *I’ll meet you there, where the light still shines.* 🎶 --- **Verse 2** Daddy’s voice hums from some old hymn, Soft as the stars on the edge of dim. I swear I feel his hand in mine, Through the veil of wintertime. --- **Chorus** 🎶 *Where the light still shines,* _In the darkest night, love still finds._ _When the fire burns low and the tears fall slow,_ _There’s a grace that never dies._ *I’ll meet you there, where the light still shines.* 🎶 --- **Bridge** (*gentle choir swells, harmonica weaves in*) Heaven’s porch light flickers true, Callin’ the lost hearts two by two. And when I go, don’t you cry for me— I’ll be dancin’ in that melody. --- **Final Chorus** 🎶 *Where the light still shines,* _On the other side of time._ _When your heart grows still and your soul unwinds,_ _That love’ll lift you high._ *I’ll meet you there, where the light still shines.* 🎶 --- **Outro** (*soft piano and slide guitar fade*) Snow keeps fallin’… soft as prayer, And I know you’re waitin’ there. 🌙
