Let it shine anyway

“Let It Shine Anyway”

by Robert Ramage

Intro (spoken)

I’ve seen the gates…

And I came back…

So I know there’s a reason…

Verse 1 (reworked)

A little older now, I see it clear,

Not the same man I was last year,

He opened my eyes, showed me the way,

Put His hand on me—I don’t walk alone today.

I still get lost, I still ask why,

But I feel His presence by my side,

Every step I take, I’m learning to stand,

With His wisdom steady in my hand.

Chorus

This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine,

Through the dark, through the doubt, every troubled time,

I don’t need all the answers, I just need Your way—

So I’ll let it shine… anyway.

Verse 2

Screens and faces, truth gets lost,

Too many lies dressed up as real,

Hard to know just who to trust,

Hard to say just what you feel.

But deep inside there’s something there,

A fire you can’t deny,

A quiet voice that pulls you back—

Says, “Don’t give up… just try.”

Chorus

This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine,

Through the dark, through the doubt, every troubled time,

I don’t need all the answers, I just need Your way—

So I’ll let it shine… anyway.

Verse 3

I stood at heaven’s open door,

Felt something I can’t explain,

A voice said, “Go… it’s not your time,

You’ve got a life to raise again.”

Be a light when shadows fall,

Stand strong when faith feels thin,

Trust in Me when you don’t see—

That’s where it begins.

Bridge

I’m not perfect, I just believe,

You carried me when I couldn’t breathe,

If I’m still here, there’s a reason why—

So I lift my hands… testify.

Verse 4

I don’t need a crown or throne,

Just a heart that won’t give in,

If I can help just one lost soul,

Then every scar’s a win.

This world’s loud, but truth is still,

Right there if you’re listening,

And even when I lose my way—

I hear You call again.

Final Chorus:

This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine,

Through the dark, through the doubt, every troubled time,

I don’t need all the answers, I just need Your way—

So I’ll let it shine… anyway.

Yeah, I’ll let it shine… anyway.
