Does the Light Still Shine Ray Boltz

He used to run the mission
This old friend of mine
And it stood down on the corner
Underneath a neon sign
Had a cross that lit up heaven
And the message "Jesus Saves"
And each week at the old folks' home
His question was the same

CHORUS:
Does the light still shine?
Does the light still shine?
Is it bright enough
For the lost to find?
Does the light still shine?

Now how was I to tell him
They tore the old sign down
Explain about electric codes
And zoning in the town
I knew that it would break his heart
I didn't want to lie
So I just held his hand and smiled
When he asked me the last time

CHORUS
