Verse 1 Woke up before the sunrise, loaded up that old van, Got blankets, coffee, kindness, Tryin' to lend a helping hand. Verse 2 Some folks walk on by, don't know what to do, But you stop and take a minute, Say, "Friend, I'm here for you." Chorus You bring light into hard places, Hope where the shadows stay, You bring light into hard places, Help people find their way, One act of love can change a life, Every single day. Verse 3 Every meal that you prepare, Every ride across this town, Every meal that you prepare, Every ride across this town, Lifts a weary heart a little, When the world has let them down. Verse 4 Some days feel so heavy, Some stories break your heart, Lord, some days feel so heavy, Some stories break your heart, But dignity and compassion Can be where healing starts. Chorus You bring light into hard places, Hope where the shadows stay, You bring light into hard places, Help people find their way, One act of love can change a life, Every single day. Bridge A warm shower, clean clothes, A smile and a listening ear, A warm shower, clean clothes, A smile and a listening ear, Can remind somebody forgotten, That somebody still cares. Verse 5 You do more than meet a need, You remind folks they belong, You do more than meet a need, You remind folks they belong, You help restore their courage, To keep on moving on. Gospel Breakdown Whatever you did for the least of these, You did it unto Me, Whatever you did for the least of these, You did it unto Me, That's a road paved with mercy, That's the way love's meant to be. Final Chorus You bring light into hard places, When the night seems cold and long, You bring light into hard places, Help the weak find they are strong, Communities are stronger now, Because you've carried on. Outro Keep going, keep serving, Keep shining your light through, Keep going, keep serving, Keep shining your light through, This world is a little brighter, Because of people like you.
