Guiding Light in Shadows

Lyrics

The valley stretches, long and deep, a darkness I have known,
A chilling mist, a silent sleep, where fears have freely grown.
A path I tread, with faltering pace, beneath a heavy sky,
And in this gloom, I seek your grace, Lord, hear my humble cry.


(Chorus - Music swells, strings become more prominent, vocals rise in warmth and intensity)
Though shadows fall, a fearsome shroud, and claim what they may seem,
I know your love, a light so proud, will banish every dream
Of endless night, of cold despair, you are my guiding hand,
I’ll find my peace, and you are there, in this most lonely land.


(Verse 2)
The whispers rise, they beckon low, they speak of fading light,
But in your truth, my heart will grow, through darkest day and night.
I feel the chill, the icy breath, a shadow hard to face,
And yet I know, beyond this death, your love will find its place.


(Chorus - Music swells again, building in power)
Though shadows fall, a fearsome shroud, and claim what they may seem,
I know your love, a light so proud, will banish every dream
Of endless night, of cold despair, you are my guiding hand,
I’ll find my peace, and you are there, in this most lonely land.


(Bridge - Music softens, voice becomes more tender and reflective)
I will not fear, I will not yield, though darkness tries to bind,
Your presence is my mighty shield, a peace I’ll surely find.
For in your arms, I am embraced, and worries start to cease,
This fragile life, you have embraced, and brought me lasting peace.


(Chorus - Music soars, with full instrumentation)
Though shadows fall, a fearsome shroud, and claim what they may seem,
I know your love, a light so proud, will banish every dream
Of endless night, of cold despair, you are my guiding hand,
I’ll find my peace, and you are there, in this most lonely land.


(Outro - Music gradually fades out with piano and gentle strings, ending on a sustained, peaceful chord)
In your most holy name, I rest… In you, I find my peace… Always…
