Am G
I was out on night guard when the storm came rollin in
Am G
The lead steer got up to his feet and raced into the wind
Am G
The air was filled with lightning and it jumped from horn to horn
F G Am
My night horse took the challenge and we rode into the storm
Am G
I tried to turn the leaders but they scattered like the wind
Am G
I held onto a hundred head and turned them back again
Am G
I rode with no direction as I pushed them thru the night
F G Am
Then way off in the distance was a tiny point of light
F Am
Yes the lantern on the wagon led me safely thru the storm
F G
A beacon shining brightly when your lost and all alone
F Am
As I wondered thru the darkness what a warm and welcome sight
F G Am
The lantern on the wagon led me safely thru the night
Am G
Your life has no direction when you think you've lost your way
Am G
I had a friend who helped me, all I had to do was pray
Am G
He's the one whos love is constant you don't have to ride alone
F G Am
All you need to do is ask him and he'll lead you safely home
F Am
Like the lantern on the wagon he will lead thru the storm
F G
A beacon shining brightly when your lost and all alone
F Am
As you wonder thru the darkness he's a warm and friendly sight
F G Am
His light of love will lead you safely thru the darkest night
F G Am
Yes his light of love will lead you safely thru the darkest night
