The Steady Hand I Prayed For

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Two New Yorkers chasing southern skies Both of us with stories in our eyes I prayed for years, knelt down on bended knee Asked the Lord to send the one for me Through every wrong turn, every broken road I trusted Him to carry my load [Chorus] And love came right on time A second chance, a steady hand in mine Faith brought us here, grace held us through Every prayer I whispered led to you Hope was the candle, love was the song God knew all along [Verse 2] I asked for a man like my daddy was Strong and selfless, full of quiet love A provider's heart, a soul that knows the cost Of finding treasure after all you've lost You came with children, I came with mine Two broken pasts the good Lord would refine [Chorus] And love came right on time A second chance, a steady hand in mine Faith brought us here, grace held us through Every prayer I whispered led to you Hope was the candle, love was the song God knew all along [Bridge] Through sickness and health, through plenty and none We're still standing, Tony, by the grace of the One Who heard me waiting, who heard me believe [Verse 3] So here's to the family we built from the ashes The vows we have honored, the storms and the laughter Tony, my answered prayer, my Godly man I'd wait a thousand years again May we keep on honoring the One above Till He calls us home in love [Chorus] And love came right on time A second chance, a steady hand in mine Faith brought us here, grace held us through Every prayer I whispered led to you Hope was the candle, love was the song God knew all along [Outro] Tony, my love, it was worth the wait God is faithful, God is great
