Built From Dust and Holy Trust

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A redhead girl with freckles wild Fell for a boy who made her smile Just killing time on Friday nights Football games under stadium lights Junior high to high school halls Love was writing on the walls [Chorus] Here's to the life we built from dust Rocky ground and holy trust Through the storms and swirling sand God gave me you to hold my hand Here's to forty years and more Pat you're what I'm living for [Verse 2] August fifteenth eighty-six Said I do and sealed it with a kiss Then Charley came and crashed the shore Trash cans flying rain would pour We left the Banks with flooded roads But hand in hand we carried the load [Chorus] Here's to the life we built from dust Rocky ground and holy trust Through the storms and swirling sand God gave me you to hold my hand Here's to forty years and more Pat you're what I'm living for [Bridge] When the darkness had its grip You found the light and never quit Two thousand four God took your heart And gave us both a brand new start [Verse 3] Asheley strong behind the badge With Laurie riding side by side Ten years deep that bond won't budge Strongwoman strength and sister pride Andy running when the sirens flash Raised on grace and yes ma'am too Hogs and mud and morning dew Then Katelynn Elizabeth crossed that stage We hollered loud and turned the page Pat didn't know her given name But pride lit up his eyes the same now she's joined with the family name [Chorus] Here's to the life we built from dust Rocky ground and holy trust Through the storms and swirling sand God gave me you to hold my hand Here's to forty years and more Pat you're what I'm living for [Outro] Pat your heart of gold shines through You treat me like a queen my love A blessing sent from God above
