The Grace That Held Us Tight

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Fifty years have come and gone Like a river rolling on Some days gentle, some days strong But we kept singing our song And through it all, one thing stayed true Every road led back to you [Chorus] Here's to the grace that held us tight Through the storms and the still of night Here's to the hands that built this home A love like yours, the finest I've known You gave it all, you gave it free Thank God you gave it all to me [Verse 2] You raised three kids with a tender hand Two boys, a girl, just the way you planned Taught them kindness before they could stand To reach out first, to understand Connie, you poured your heart in deep And the harvest, darling, ours to keep [Chorus] Here's to the grace that held us tight Through the storms and the still of night Here's to the hands that built this home A love like yours, the finest I've known You gave it all, you gave it free Thank God you gave it all to me [Bridge] You were dealt a harder hand But you never let it change who you am You stood tall, you loved us through And we're all still standing because of you [Verse 3] Others first, that's always been your way A wonderful soul, more than words can say Connie, your dedication never swayed Fifty golden years and I'd do it all again today Thinking of others before yourself You're the blessing I don't deserve but I was dealt [Chorus] Here's to the grace that held us tight Through the storms and the still of night Here's to the hands that built this home A love like yours, the finest I've known You gave it all, you gave it free Thank God you gave it all to me [Outro] Connie, here's to fifty more You're everything I'm living for
