Ray Boltz - Does The Light Still Shine Lyrics
Does The Light Still Shine?Words by Ray Boltz, Music by Steve Millikan and Ray BoltzHe used to run the missionThis old friend of mineAnd it stood down on the cornerUnderneath a neon signHad a cross that lit up heavenAnd the message "Jesus Saves"And each week at the old folks' homeHis question was the sameCHORUS:Does the light still shine?Does the light still shine?Is it bright enoughFor the lost to find?Does the light still shine?Now how was I to tell himThey tore the old sign down,Explain about electric codes,And zoning in the townI knew that it would break his heart,I didn't want to lieSo I just held his hand and smiledWhen he asked me the last time,CHORUSIn a quiet ceremonyI began to understandAfter all the testimoniesFor this ordinary manHe took them in, he gave them foodHe taught them of God's graceAnd as they spokeI saw a lightShining on each faceAnd you may not believe itBut I tell you that's it trueThe light kept growing brighterUntil it filled the roomI heard a voice say,This, my friend, is whatI was speaking of...When you touch someone in Jesus' nameThere shines the light of loveOh the light still shinesOh the light still shinesYes it's bright enoughFor the lost to findOh the light still shinesOh the light still shinesYes the light still shinesAnd it's bright enoughFor the lost to findOh the light still shinesYes the light still shines1998 Shepherd Boy MusicASCAP (adm. by Word, Inc., a division of Word Music) and Weedom
