Still Standing in the Light (Gospel version) by Tony Gibbs
All rights reserved © ℗ 2025 Tony Gibbs

I’ve been low enough to feel the floor
Cold concrete under my pride
Said some words I can’t take back
Crossed a few too many lines
I wore the weight of my mistakes
Like they were stitched into my skin
But somethin’ kept me breathin’
When I shouldn’t have made it in

I don’t claim I’m innocent
I just know I’m still here

I’m still standin’ in the light
Even after all this time
With these scars and restless nights
Yeah, I’m still standin’ in the light
I’ve been lost, I’ve been broken
I’ve been too far gone to pray
But grace don’t care where you’ve been
It meets you where you stay

I chased the dark like it knew my name
Let the bottle speak for me
Thought I had nothin’ left to lose
Till I almost couldn’t breathe
Now every sunrise feels earned
Like mercy I didn’t deserve
If there’s a hand that pulled me through
I felt it workin’ when it hurt

I don’t know how Heaven sounds
But I know what saved me

I’m still standin’ in the light
Even after all this time
With these scars and restless nights
Yeah, I’m still standin’ in the light
I’ve been lost, I’ve been broken
I’ve been too far gone to pray
But grace don’t care where you’ve been
It meets you where you stay

If forgiveness is a road
I walked it mile by mile
If faith’s just keepin’ your head up
I’m learnin’ how

I’m still standin’ in the light
Not because I won the fight
But I didn’t give up tonight
Yeah, I’m still standin’ in the light
I’ve been weak, I’ve been reckless
One wrong step from the edge
But mercy don’t need perfection
Just a man still drawin’ breath

Still standin’…
Still standin’ in the light
