Saints and Shells

[Verse 1 – soft, poetic tone]
She wore a shell around her neck
And grace upon her every step
Her voice was calm, her heart was wild
But full of faith just like a child

She’d sing the hymns in island tone
And read the scriptures soft and slow
With every word, her spirit swelled
She lived like one of the saints… and shells

⸻

[Chorus – lifting like a spiritual anthem]
Saints and shells, prayer and tide
She walked with angels at her side
She bore the light, she knew His name
She lived for truth and not for fame
With temple vows and sacred song
She built a world where love stays strong
And now she dwells where spirits dwell
A crown of saints… and strings of shells

⸻

[Verse 2 – storytelling with testimony]
She’d quote the Savior when winds blew
“Peace, be still” — and it came true
She served with hands that healed the sore
Fed the hungry, lifted more

And in our home, she’d gently teach
That heaven isn’t far from reach
“Just follow Christ, and you’ll do well —
And leave behind some saints… and shells”

⸻

[Chorus – fuller, harmonies rise like a sea of praise]
Saints and shells, tide and tree
She carried Zion gracefully
She bore her cross with quiet might
And lit our path with borrowed light
She knelt beside our sons each night
And prayed they’d grow in truth and right
Now angels walk where she once fell
To lift the faithful — saints and shells

⸻

[Bridge – soft, with temple bell echoes]
She wasn’t just a mother or wife
She was a servant of eternal life
And though she sleeps, she’s not far gone
She walks with saints until we’re one

⸻

[Final Chorus – majestic and sacred, like a closing hymn]
Saints and shells, tide and flame
Her legacy is in His name
With every prayer and song she gave
She marked the path, she cleared the way
And when I see her face again
We’ll rise together, hand in hand
Among the righteous — where she dwells
My Queen of saints… my crown of shells

⸻

[Outro – gentle ocean sounds fade into silence]
“She was more than memory.
She was a disciple — and still is.”

Poetic and sacred. Gentle slack-key guitar meets Southern gospel piano. Temple-like reverence with a deep spiritual puls
