His Light Will Guide You.


Story of the song:
       In August of 2010, my stake informed us that we could write and submit songs for a CD for AFY (my youth conference.) From then I decided that I would be writing a song for AFY. I asked Shanelle about it and we didn't really do much about it. It was do on January 31, well, we missed that date, but we had another chance. We worked hard for weeks often times we would write and practice during lunch when we could. Well Shanelle finished the first draft of the song on March 17, 2011. We then recorded it in May and got in on our Youth Conference CD. Once again if you would like a copy email us at gsmusicalexploits@yahoo.com, and comment to let us know you emailed us there, and I will send it to you. 
      The meaning of the song came from the inspiration of God. My Dad gave me a Father's Blessing in January and in it he told me to study light, so I read almost every scripture in the Book of Mormon about light, and Shanelle and I chose a couple and that's where things like "His light will guide you through the wilderness . . ." come from. The song is about how we have hard times in life, but Christ's light always pulls us through. It's about how his light has saved us. It's also about how when we trust in Christ's light we always win. You will always win the battle when you trust in Christ. Thank You, and enjoy the song if you want it.

Lyrics:

His Light Will Guide You

What do you do when every day is a battle?
Who do you be when you’re lost in the struggle?
Fighting along, you feel all alone,
till you find his light, and you find he is home.

Be strong, be true.
His light will guide you through the wilderness.
Have faith look on.
To the light that’s been there all along.
You’ll see the light has saved you and me.

What do you do when they’re winning the battle?
Who is your strength when you’re lost in the struggle?
Don’t give up now, you’re not alone.
Keep holding on till the fight you have won.

Be strong, be true.
His light will guide you through the wilderness.
Have faith look on.
To the light that’s been there all along.
You’ll see the light has saved you and me.

He is your savior.
He is your king.
His light has saved us, so we are free.
Don’t forget he’s been what you’ve been through,
you can conquer darkness because he will cling to you.

Be strong, be true.
His light will guide you through the wilderness.
Have faith look on.
To the light that’s been there all along.
You’ll see the light has saved you and me.
