Shining like a beacon through the darkest night
You're the only light that leads me home
Home is where the fire burns so warm and bright
'Long as I have you, I'll never roam
Our paths may wander on this walk of life
But I won't walk alone
Like a blaze of gold
At the break of dawn
You're the power that heals my soul
When the wind grows cold
And I'm halfway gone
You're the power that keeps me whole
Running like a river to the rolling sea
The waters of your love are deep and strong
My harbor and my shelter, you will always be
Even when the storm blows hard and long
While your spirit is a part of me
It gives life to this song
