Light Shines in the Darkness

 Light Shines in the Darkness






“The Light Shines in the Darkness” is an original song about hope that refuses to fade, even when fear presses in and the night feels endless. 

I wrote this song as a declaration that darkness never has the final word, no matter how heavy the road or how deep the struggle feels. 

The lyrics move through moments of doubt, renewal, and healing, pointing to a light that meets us where we are and keeps rising no matter the circumstance. 

It’s a reminder that love breaks chains, truth overcomes fear, and God’s light continues to shine through every season of life. 

If this song speaks to your journey, I’d love to hear what it means to you in the comments. 

Thank you for listening and supporting the music.

John 1:5: "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it."




Light Shines in the Darkness

When the night feels endless
And the road disappears
Every shadow whispers
Every doubt draws near
But there’s a flame that never flickers
Through the coldest fight
A hope that keeps on rising
Breaking through the night

I’ve seen the fear fall silent
When Your name is spoken loud
What the dark tried to steal
You turned around

The light shines in the darkness
Still the darkness can’t win
Every fear keeps running
When Your love walks in
No, the night won’t hold me
No, I won’t give in
The light shines in the darkness
And the darkness never overcomes Him

When my heart feels heavy
And the sky caves in
When I’m barely breathing
Trying to begin again
You don’t wait for daylight
You meet me where I am
You ignite the ashes
With a healing hand

I hear heaven moving
Every time I call
What looked like the end
Was never the fall

The light shines in the darkness
Still the darkness can’t win
Every fear keeps running
When Your love walks in
No, the night won’t hold me
No, I won’t give in
The light shines in the darkness
And the darkness never overcomes Him

No shadow stronger
No lie survives
No grave could keep You
No power denies
You’re still shining
You’re still alive

From the cross to the crown
From the tomb to the throne
Your light keeps reaching
Till I’m finally home

The light shines in the darkness
Still the darkness can’t win
Every chain is breaking
When Your truth begins
No, the night won’t hold us
This is how we live
The light shines in the darkness
And the darkness never overcomes Him

Still the light
Still the light
Shining through my life
