Wooden Pew Promises

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sunday morning, wooden pews Blue Bonnet Church, me in worn-out shoes Preacher's daughter, small-town grace You smiled at me from the back row space Mama and daddy didn't oppose Parents steady, strong as oaks Faith was more than words we knew It was the ground where our love grew [Chorus] We were young love written in the sky Two stubborn hearts that wouldn't say goodbye Through every mile, through every bend We lost our way but found it again God had grace we couldn't see When faith and forgiveness set us free After all the roads we've driven through Every road still leads me back to you [Verse 2] Nineteen eighty-two rolled in You packed your bags to chase that cardinal wind But one short week was all it took You heard someone gave me a look Turned that truck right back around Said, "That's my girl, my solid ground" Mama's baby, twenty, standing tall Became my husband through it all [Chorus] We were young love written in the sky Two stubborn hearts that wouldn't say goodbye Through every mile, through every bend We lost our way but found it again God had grace we couldn't see When faith and forgiveness set us free After all the roads we've driven through Every road still leads me back to you [Bridge] We signed the papers, closed the door Thought our hearts couldn't hurt no more But grace don't quit and love don't die When it's written by the Lord on high [Verse 3] A decade later, hearts made new God stitched together me and you Jeffrey strong, Christina bright Four grandbabies, pure delight Little echoes slam our doors Living proof of love restored David, it's a beautiful view All of it started in that wooden pew [Chorus] We're young love older and refined Two weathered hearts still intertwined Through every valley, every view There ain't a thing we couldn't get through God had grace we couldn't see When faith and forgiveness rescued me After all the roads we've driven through Every road still leads me back to you [Outro] Every road still leads me Every road still leads me Back to you, David And that wooden pew
