Still Here

(Verse / Chorus Worship Ballad Structure)

Verse 1

I watched the life fade from your eyes

Beneath the cold and silent skies

I held your hand, I called your name

But nothing, love, was quite the same

I begged the Lord to let you stay

But death reached in and took you away

They wheeled you down that empty hall

And I felt my whole wide world just fall

Chorus

And I’m still here… though you are gone

Breathing nights that feel too long

Holding on when faith feels thin

Trusting God through shattered skin

I don’t understand His plan

But I will stand where I am

For tiny hands and heaven’s call

For them… for Him… I’ll carry on

Verse 2

The house is quiet, yet so loud

With memories wrapped like a heavy shroud

Your boots still waiting by the door

But you won’t walk through it anymore

Our children sleep in rooms nearby

Too young to fully ask me why

They need my strength, they need my grace

Though tears still fall down my face

Pre-Chorus

Some nights I whisper, “Take me too,”

Because my heart still beats for you

But God writes lines I cannot see

And somehow He still has need of me

Chorus

And I’m still here… though you are gone

Breathing nights that feel too long

Holding on when faith feels thin

Trusting God through shattered skin

I don’t understand His plan

But I will stand where I am

For tiny hands and heaven’s call

For them… for Him… I’ll carry on

Bridge (Lift Section)

If this pain can light the way

For someone breaking where I lay

If my scars can speak of grace

In the darkest, loneliest place

Then love is stronger than the grave

And hope is louder than the waves

Though death has taken what I adore

It cannot steal forevermore

Final Chorus (Extended)

I’m still here… though I’m torn apart

A widow with a warrior’s heart

Longing for where you have gone

But living for what still goes on

Through broken heart and pouring rain

Through empty nights that speak your name

For tiny hands that hold mine tight

For little faces in the night

For them… for Him… I’ll carry on.
