Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[G] In the depths of the [C] darkest night, [D] when hope seems out of [Em] sight,
[G] I call upon your [C] name, [D] you’re my guiding [Em] light.
[G] In the chaos of the [C] storm, [D] when I feel lost and [Em] worn,
[G] Your love, it keeps me [C] warm, [D] you’re my guiding [Em] light.

(Chorus)
[D] You’re the beacon in the [G] night, [C] The star that shines so [D] bright,
[G] In you, I take [C] flight, [D] you’re my guiding [Em] light.
[D] When I can’t find my [G] way, [C] Your love will never [D] stray,
[G] In you, I am [C] okay, [D] you’re my guiding [Em] light.

(Verse 2)
[G] In the quiet of the [C] dawn, [D] when I’m feeling weak and [Em] drawn,
[G] Your words, they spur me [C] on, [D] you’re my guiding [Em] light.
[G] In the echo of my [C] fears, [D] you wipe away my [Em] tears,
[G] In you, I have no [C] fears, [D] you’re my guiding [Em] light.

(Chorus)
[D] You’re the beacon in the [G] night, [C] The star that shines so [D] bright,
[G] In you, I take [C] flight, [D] you’re my guiding [Em] light.
[D] When I can’t find my [G] way, [C] Your love will never [D] stray,
[G] In you, I am [C] okay, [D] you’re my guiding [Em] light.
