Cold Shade Of Grey

Verse 1

I used to know all the answers,

Life seemed black and white.

I built my world on easy truths,

Never thought they’d fade from sight.

But the road turned dark and narrow,

And the plans I made fell through.

Now I’m standing in the silence,

Wondering what is true.

Chorus 1

In this cold shade of grey,

I can’t tell the night from day.

The fire inside has gone astray,

Still I’m reaching through this grey.

Verse 2

Things I took for granted,

Don’t hold the same today.

The world I thought was steady

Has quietly slipped away.

Now the mirror shows a stranger,

With tired eyes that pray,

“Lord, if You can hear me,

Please light my way.”

Chorus 2

In this cold shade of grey,

I can’t tell the night from day.

The fire inside has gone astray,

But I’m reaching through this grey.

Bridge –

No map, no promise clear to guide me,

Only whispers in the rain.

But somewhere in the distance,

I hear Your voice again.

Final Chorus –

Through this cold shade of grey,

A spark begins to stay.

Maybe grace was here all along,

Calling my name through the grey.

Like Sheep Gone Astray

[Verse 1 — The First Vision]

I saw a youth in the brightness,

Crowned with the praise of men.

His strength was the pride of the people,

His smile a perfect skin.

But deep in the hollow of silence,

A restless shadow lay—

And though the lights were upon him,

His heart had lost the Way.

[Chorus — The Cry of Isaiah]

All we like sheep have gone astray,

Each to our own desire.

Turning our faces from the Light,

Kindling our lesser fire.

Lord, have mercy on Your wandering ones—

Lead us back today.

Gather us close to the Shepherd’s heart,

We who have gone astray.

[Verse 2 — The Wounded Daughter]

I saw a daughter in sorrow,

Watching the world outside.

Loneliness pressed like a garment,

Tears she could never hide.

“Is there one who knows my aching?

One who will hear me pray?”

Her soul was wrapped in a heavy night—

She too had lost her way.

[Chorus — The Cry of Isaiah]

All we like sheep have gone astray,

Each to our own desire.

Turning our faces from the Light,

Kindling our lesser fire.

Lord, have mercy on Your wandering ones—

Lead us back today.

Gather us close to the Shepherd’s heart,

We who have gone astray.

[Verse 3 — The House of Strife]

I saw a home filled with shouting,

Voices that would not bend.

Words became swords in the doorway,

No one could call the end.

The child cried out in the anger,

“Let me escape this place!”

And every heart in the trembling room

Turned from the Father’s face.

[Bridge — The Darkest Ones]

Some walk deeper into shadow,

Loving the night as friend.

Breaking the boundaries of mercy,

Forgetting how they began.

Yet even there, in the coldest dark,

The Shepherd calls their name.

No soul is lost to His searching love—

No heart too far to claim.

[Final Chorus — The Shepherd’s Call]

All we like sheep have gone astray,

Each to our own desire.

Turning our faces from the Light,

Kindling our lesser fire.

Lord, have mercy on Your wandering ones—

Lead us back today.

Gather us close to the Shepherd’s heart,

We who have gone astray.

Lead us back to the Shepherd’s heart,

We who have gone astray…

The Searching

Verse 1

Oh Lord…

These mountains rise before me.

Dust on my path,

Your name in my breath.

Step after step,

The trail climbs upward.

And I long

To walk where You lead.

But when I see

Your Light ahead,

The shadows gather

Across the peaks.

Pre-Chorus

Oh Lord Jesus…

I’m still searching

For Your everlasting Light.

Chorus I

“My child…

Why do you strain so hard?

The path you walk

Is held in My hands.

Lift your heart—

You’re closer than you know.

What you seek

Is already found.

Give Me your all,

And I will guide your steps

To the Light in Me.”

Verse 2

Oh Lord…

The air grows thin up here.

Still I climb,

Wanting Your kindness near.

But the closer the summit,

The deeper the shadows.

They gather round

Like clouds at dusk.

Pre-Chorus

Oh Lord Jesus…

Strengthen me

To stay within Your Light.

Chorus II

“My child…

I see your searching heart.

I will not let

Your footsteps slip.

I walk beside you—

I share this ridge with you.

Lift your soul,

For what you seek is here.

Give Me your all,

And I will lead you on

To My Light.”

Final Chorus

“My child…

You’ve walked the hardest miles.

Lift your eyes—

The Light is breaking through.

Step into My peace,

Walk with Me forever.

I am your strength,

Your Guide along the way.”

Ending

Oh Lord Jesus…

Thank You for the peace

You’ve carried me into.

You ended all my wandering,

And brought me home

Into Your Light.

A Great Light

[Verse 1 — The Darkness]

In this land of shadows,

Where the weary walk alone,

Where the hungry hearts are longing

For a place to call their own.

In the silence of the question,

In the ache of endless night,

We are waiting, we are watching

For a dawn to bring us light.

[Chorus — The Father’s Gift]

Out of the darkness…

A Great Light shines,

Given to the world

By the Father so kind.

For God so loved us,

He gave His only Son;

The Light has come among us,

The Holy, Chosen One.

Jesus, our Great Light,

Shining in the night.

[Verse 2 — The Coming of the Son]

Was He sent to condemn us?

No—He came to save!

To lift the broken-hearted,

And bring life beyond the grave.

Some turn from His mercy,

Choose the shadows, choose the night;

But all who trust in Jesus

Walk forever in His Light.

[Chorus — The Father’s Gift]

Out of the darkness…

A Great Light shines,

Given to the world

By the Father so kind.

For God so loved us,

He gave His only Son;

The Light has come among us,

The Holy, Chosen One.

Jesus, our Great Light,

Shining in the night.

[Verse 3 — Hope for the Lost]

If you wander in the valley,

If your steps have lost their way,

Jesus Christ will find you—

He will lead you into day.

For the weak and broken-hearted,

He is strength and He is life;

He’s the Rock that never falters,

He’s the everlasting Light.

[Final Chorus — The Father’s Gift]

Out of the darkness…

A Great Light shines,

Given to the world

By the Father so kind.

For God so loved us,

He gave His only Son;

The Light has come among us,

The Holy, Chosen One.

Jesus, our Great Light,

Shining in the night.

[Coda]

Jesus Christ is the Great Light—

Trust Him with all your heart,

And walk forever

In the Light.

Since the very beginning —

He was with God, and He was God!

A voice cried out from the desert fire:

“Behold! The Light of the world!”

And into the world came the Word made flesh —

the work of His holy hands;

But His beautiful creations still

did not know their God.

CHORUS

Jesus Christ — You are the Light of my life!

My Savior and Creator — Your truth cuts through the night!

Jesus — my heart and soul reach out for You!

Lord, my true Light — enlighten my life!

But to all who receive Him —

to all who call His name —

He gives the right to enter in

the family of the Lord!

We are not born of this world’s will,

but born of God above;

We are the children of the Light —

the Light of all life — Jesus Christ!

FINAL CHORUS

Jesus Christ — You are the Light of my life!

My Savior and Creator — Your glory burns so bright!

Jesus — my heart and soul rise up to You!

Lord, my true Light — enlighten my life!

Light Of Joy

Verse 1

Light rising on the open road,

Dust lifting around my feet.

Morning breaks, shadows falter—

Something bright begins to speak.

A breath becomes a quiet prayer,

A doorway into sky;

I feel the warmth before I see it—

Your joy becoming light.

Chorus

Light of joy, breaking through,

Coloring the sky I’m walking into.

Every doubt dissolves in You—

Your light makes all things new.

Light of joy, forever rise,

Guide my heart with every sunrise.

Lead me on; I will follow

Where Your joy becomes my eyes.

Verse 2

Wind gathering across the hills,

Grace steady beneath my stride.

Though the road is wide and wandering,

Your fire draws me inside.

Your whispered truth becomes my compass,

Calling me by name.

Bridge

When the dark begins to open,

Your quiet fire appears.

Light breaks through the silence—

A voice I finally hear.

You draw me from the fading shadows

Into Your living dawn.

Your joy becomes my lantern—

The path I walk upon.

Final Chorus

Light of joy, breaking through,

Every burden falls away.

Lead me on; my heart is burning—

Your joy remakes the day.

Soul Protector

Music by: SUNO AI

Verse 1

Like a thick fog in the night,

The evil one can darken your soul,

Cloud your vision,

Fill you with doubt and confusion.

He can make you believe in lies,

Lead your heart to hate—

A whisper, a promise,

A deed of evil fate.

Bridge (Soft, Warning Tone)

You need someone to save your soul.

You need someone to protect you.

You need a Soul Protector.

Chorus

You need a Soul Protector,

And Jesus Christ, the Lord of all.

With the Savior by your side,

The darkness cannot stand tall.

Jesus is your Soul Protector—

He will be your guide and shield.

Verse 2

At times when you are weak,

When your guard is down—

The tempter comes, offering easy answers,

Quick escapes, and hollow crowns.

But don’t be fooled by what fades fast,

Don’t sign your heart away—

For Christ alone can guard your path,

And light your narrow way.

Final Bridge (Reprise)

You need someone to save your soul.

You need someone to protect you.

You need a Soul Protector—

Jesus Christ, your Lord and King.

Final Chorus

You need a Soul Protector,

And Jesus Christ, your Lord and King.

With His mercy as your armor,

The devil cannot win.

Jesus is your Soul Protector—

Forever you are safe in Him

Verse 1

You can feel it all around you,

The pressure of life pressing down.

You fall to one knee, almost broken—

Yet something deep within won’t let you drown.

From inside, a surge of strength arises;

Even with burdens weighing you low,

You do not cave in —

From your heart, His power flows.

Chorus

The strength of your heart is Christ!

Through faith in Him, through love and trust,

Through every prayer that lifts your soul,

You are strengthened with power divine.

Your heart is filled with His Spirit —

The strength of your heart is Christ!

Verse 2

There was a time your spirit faltered,

A time you could not stand the strain.

But then you turned toward Jesus,

And He planted hope within your pain.

His roots grew deep inside your heart,

His peace restored what once was lost.

Now, in His love, you stand unshaken—

Your weakness nailed upon the Cross.

Chorus

The strength of your heart is Christ!

Through faith in Him, through love and trust,

Through every prayer that lifts your soul,

You are strengthened with power divine.

Your heart is filled with His Spirit —

The strength of your heart is Christ!

Through faith, through love, through grace alive,

Rooted and grounded in His mercy,

You are strengthened to rise and fight.

Forever strong in Christ!

Hope For The Future

Music by: SUNO AI

Verse 1

It began with a death—

A holy man upon a cross.

All who stood around in silence

Could not understand the loss.

They did not see beneath the pain—

That this Man was their hope again.

Chorus

Then came the resurrection of Jesus Christ!

He gave the gift of life anew,

A life within the Kingdom bright—

A promise shining true.

This is why Christ is our salvation,

Our hope that never dies,

The dawn of Heaven breaking through,

The light of Paradise.

Verse 2

It was upon the third day’s morn,

When Heaven’s brilliance filled the sky,

That Christ our Lord arose in glory—

And death itself did die.

From that tomb, new life began,

A hope eternal, born for man.

Chorus

Then came the resurrection of Jesus Christ!

He gave the gift of life anew,

A life within the Kingdom bright—

A promise shining true.

This is why Christ is our salvation,

Our hope that never dies,

The dawn of Heaven breaking through,

The light of Paradise.

Bridge

Jesus Christ is our assurance,

The promise of the Father’s hand.

Through Him, the gates of Heaven open—

The path to the eternal land.

Final

Where peace and love forever reign—

And Christ our Lord remains.
