Heavenly light new song version

Listen to poem:

An end of life prayerful song! Heavenly Light Dark days have come.... my life is ending My days are numbered... but, I'm unafraid I have no regrets... except I must leave her My days are numbered... but, I'm unafraid So don't you worry, don't fret about me... I'll always be with you... in your...memory Chorus Heavenly light...shine down upon me Shine on my pathway...to eternity Oh Heavenly light...shine down upon me My life's in your hands Lord... remember me... I've had some hard times, but, I've had your blessing You've given me love... and...I will miss her Please comfort her Lord, for she will get lonely Please help her endure, till, we meet again Chorus Heavenly light...shine down upon me Shine on my pathway...to eternity Oh Heavenly light...shine down upon me My life's in your hands Lord... remember me... All of my life, Lord, I've been your servant I've done my best, to do your will You've given your son, and, I don't feel worthy Thank you for your love, Lord, I will praise you still Chorus Heavenly light...shine down upon me Shine on my pathway...to eternity Oh Heavenly light...shine down upon me My life's in your hands Lord... remember me... My life's in your hands Lord... remember me... My life's in your hands Lord... remember me... repeat and fade John Derek Hamilton February 28,2018 Revised with music and vocals July 31,2025

This is so incredibly beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing this. I can imagine this was something my dad would have loved so much, he didn't want to leave my mama nor us children, but God was calling him home, and he knew it. This is a jewel, thank you so much for writing and sharing it!

Thanks BJ I'm so glad you enjoyed, it was difficult to write at the time I almost never survived but am thankful I wrote it now if it can help others that's my reward. Thank you for your kind words and visit.

I don't care where it comes from, John. I'm just ecstatic that you share with us, these beautiful Lyrics along with beautiful music. This one brought me to tears, as I have prayed this prayer many many times over the last year. I'm ready when my numbered days are over, but long to be at peace that God will care for my Sara who is 7 years younger than me. Smiles ~ Blessings Bill p.s. This goes on my FAVs list so I can replay at will. :-)

Thanks Bill glad you like it enough to fave it. Yes I went through all these feelings a few years ago, I died a few times but thankfully they could revive me.

Gorgeous ballad. Are these AI or are you paying to have these recorded under the arrangement you explained to me before?

Tommy you should pay for it, the generations come out so much better with excelent sound quality. Plus you own the full copyright as John says below.

I have used paid musicians, composers and singers in the past however they are hard to find, especially because they don't like sharing writing credit as payment. Most songwriters want to do their own songs instead.

Ok I thought you may have mentioned on a previous song it was professional musicians rather than AI so just getting clarification. Yes I've checked out a number of those most want your $$. The one I did use let me create for free but when I went to download on my PC it required a subscription lol

It is a paid subscription to a song generating program, ai is used I think, however I'm able to get commercial licensing without having to pay royalties. I retain all ownership and publishing rights.
