Put Your Fists Down

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some things burn slow like a long summer flame Ten years of hiding what words couldn't name Watching and waiting with a guarded heart Praying that someday God would play His part A back porch evening changed it all One kiss that caught me as I started to fall [Chorus] Put your fists down, darling, I've got you now No need to fight when love has shown you how Through every storm His grace has led us here Put your fists down, I'm not going anywhere [Verse 2] I walked through this world with my guard way up high Ready to swing before I'd even try Then Mark reached over, took my hands in his And opened them gently with a quiet kiss He saw the good when I could only see The broken and the battle left in me [Chorus] Put your fists down, darling, I've got you now No need to fight when love has shown you how Through every storm His grace has led us here Put your fists down, I'm not going anywhere [Bridge] Eighteen Aprils and I love you more Than the girl on that porch ever could before You navigate the waters, you steady the wheel Mark, you're the answer to every prayer I kneel [Verse 3] Best friend to forever, who could've known That God was writing this all along You accept me just the way I am Every flaw and fire in these open hands You take the fight right out of me And leave the kind of love that sets me free [Chorus] Put your fists down, darling, I've got you now No need to fight when love has shown you how Through every storm His grace has led us here Put your fists down, I'm not going anywhere [Outro] So here's to you, Mark, my shelter, my friend I'd choose that back porch kiss again and again
