Guided By The Light

Intro (soft guitar, Nyabinghi feel)
Jah light…
Guide I and I…
Every step… every breath…
Verse 1
Rise with the sun, feel the warmth on mi face,
Give thanks for life and the gift of His grace,
Through the trials and the storms I’ve known,
Never once was I left alone.
Walk through the valley, still hold mi ground,
Even in silence, I hear His sound,
Whisper in mi spirit, steady and true,
“Child keep walkin’, I’m here with you.”
Pre-Chorus (lift)
When the road get rough and the night feel long,
I remember where my strength come from,
Not by might, not by sight I roam,
Jah light always lead me home…
Chorus (strong, melodic, repeatable)
Guided by the light, I keep movin’ on,
Through the darkest night to the break of dawn,
Faith in mi heart, I’m never alone,
Jah love make a way — lead me home.
Guided by the light, I stand firm and strong,
Even when the fight feel like too long,
Every step I take, I know I belong,
In the arms of love where I come from.
Verse 2
See mi neighbor with a burden to bear,
So I share what I got, show a little care,
‘Cause love ain’t words, it’s the life we live,
Every breath we take is a chance to give.
No need riches fi make things right,
Just a humble heart and a shining light,
When we lift one soul, we all rise higher,
Jah spark in we — eternal fire.
Pre-Chorus
When confusion try cloud mi way,
Still I trust what mi Father say,
Every tear, every test I’ve known,
Build the faith that I stand upon…
Chorus (full band, harmonies)
Guided by the light, I keep movin’ on,
Through the darkest night to the break of dawn,
Faith in mi heart, I’m never alone,
Jah love make a way — lead me home.
Guided by the light, I stand firm and strong,
Even when the fight feel like too long,
Every step I take, I know I belong,
In the arms of love where I come from.
Bridge (dub breakdown, call & response)
(Leader) Who guide mi steps?
(Response) Jah guide mi steps!
(Leader) Who give mi breath?
(Response) Jah give mi breath!
Through every rise and every fall,
His love stand taller than them all…
Final Chorus (big, joyful)
Guided by the light, no fear inside,
With His truth alone I will abide,
From the mountain high to the ocean wide,
Jah love forever be mi guide.
Outro (fade, horns + echo)
Yeah yeah…
Guided by the light…
Every day… every night…
Give thanks.
