I'LL SHINE YOUR LIGHT (A co-write with Ron Helm) - 06/30/22 02:51 PM
I'LL SHINE YOUR LIGHT
Once again, I am going back and giving an older tune a total re-work with upgraded recording equipment. It gave me a chance to give it a better vocal and guitar performance.
This is a song I co-wrote with Ron Helm to honor a friend who fought a long battle with cancer. She set such a wonderful example of faith during her battle, and she inspired many people. I hope it speaks to someone! Ron is a lifelong friend who is a terrific writer and is also a music publisher. Ron is also a first cousin of Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Levon Helm. they grew up together in rural Arkansas. I count it a great honor to be able to occasionally get together and write with him. We are planning to get together again soon and work on some fresh material which I look forward to!
For this track I used only the Realdrums Southern Pop Funky Soul and played all the other instruments. I truly appreciate each of you who take the time to listen. T

Your smile could always brighten up the room
Even after all the things that you'd been going through
You were strong when we were so weak
Your courage gave the strength that we so badly need
This flower has wilted but has changed to something more beautiful
Still today a place in our heart for you remains
I'll shine your light it's what you left for me
That I might help someone to see
A better way to walk in faith and love
That when we're down we can get up
All as you are watching us from above
You didn't choose to hide within the pain
Or go and close the window and draw the shade
Yet through grace you had found God's open door
To the things that you knew He had for you in store
You inspire me
I'll shine your light it's what you left for me
That I might help someone to see
A better way to walk in faith and love
That when we're down we can get up
All as you are watching us from above
Your prayers led the way to a higher place
To a brand-new home where you are with the Lord
We stand on the shore waving goodbye
But in a little while we'll see you once again
