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.
