[Verse 1]
Five years old in the doorway
Small hands raised to the sky
You said, “Come on, Daddy, listen”
And you lit up all our lives
You were the first one to pray there
The first one to say, “Amen”
Now I hear your laugh in the stillness
Like you’re calling us again
[Pre-Chorus]
And I was lost, then I found Him
Right where your little faith stood
You led my house to the water
You made a hard world good
[Chorus]
Little brother light
You carried us home
Little brother light
You never walked alone
Now heaven knows your name
And I still feel you near
Little brother light
You brought us to Jesus here
[Verse 2]
There’s a Bible on the table
With your crayon marks inside
And your tiny shoes by the front step
Still won’t leave my mind
Mama cries on Sunday mornings
Dad looks up when the choir sings
But your love keeps on speaking
In the quiet of these things
[Pre-Chorus]
You were gone too soon, too young
But your purpose still stands tall
You were just a little candle
That showed the way to us all
[Chorus]
Little brother light
You carried us home
Little brother light
You never walked alone
Now heaven knows your name
And I still feel you near
Little brother light
You brought us to Jesus here
[Bridge]
So I’ll live like you taught me
With my hands open wide
I’ll keep saying yes to heaven
Till I see you on the other side
And I know you’re in the glory
Where tears can’t reach you now
But your five-year-old “Jesus”
Still shakes this old house
[Chorus]
Little brother light
You carried us home
Little brother light
You never walked alone
Now heaven knows your name
And I still feel you near
Little brother light
You brought us to Jesus here
[Outro]
Little brother light
I’ll carry you in mine
Little brother light
Until the end of time
