From That Little Church Pew

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Two kids sitting in a Sunday pew Never knew what God had planned for two A spark lit up on Valentine's day Sixty-seven stole our hearts away Too young to know, too blessed to wait Daddy said yes in sixty-eight [Chorus] William, you're my grace, my steady ground The faithful love that never let me down Through every season, every prayer we prayed God built this love and oh, it stayed William, you're the promise heaven made [Verse 2] We crossed the ocean, held on tight Germany couldn't dim our light Omaha winters, Army years We kept the faith through joy and tears Three baby boys beneath our roof Living, breathing, sacred proof [Chorus] William, you're my grace, my steady ground The faithful love that never let me down Through every season, every prayer we prayed God built this love and oh, it stayed William, you're the promise heaven made [Bridge] When the storms came and my body grew weak You were the strength I couldn't speak You covered me with gentle hands Lord knows you are a righteous man [Verse 3] Now look at what our love has grown Grandbabies filling up our home Great-grands with pieces of our smile Every single one worthwhile From that little church where we began To all these years still hand in hand I pray you felt it all along My love for you, my endless song [Chorus] William, you're my grace, my steady ground The faithful love that never let me down Through every season, every prayer we prayed God built this love and oh, it stayed William, you're the promise heaven made [Outro] Only God could write a love this strong With you is right where I belong Forever yours, love Etta's heart Together till the stars depart
