A Whole New Sky

Lyrics

[Verse 1] An island sun, a stranger's smile Two hearts that crossed for just a while Who could've known what fate would bring A quiet song that's still to sing You said you'd give me every dream Anywhere but the Florida sea [Chorus] So lay your burden down tonight You don't have to carry the light Let me hold what you've held so long Rest your head, my love, my strong Through every storm, through every test You've earned this season, you've earned this rest [Verse 2] We built a farm from faith and ground Forty years of pulling the crowd A father's hands, a husband true Every woman's dream was you You gave a girl from Florida shores A whole new sky, and so much more [Chorus] So lay your burden down tonight You don't have to carry the light Let me hold what you've held so long Rest your head, my love, my strong Through every storm, through every test You've earned this season, you've earned this rest [Bridge] Robert, my Robert, hear me say God's favor's written on our days The road ahead is soft and wide And I will never leave your side [Verse 3] Twenty-six years and counting still The legacy you built with skill Now comes the freedom, comes the calm The healing wrapped inside my arms Whatever comes, we'll see it through Robert, my heart belongs to you [Chorus] So lay your burden down tonight You don't have to carry the light Let me hold what you've held so long Rest your head, my love, my strong Through every storm, through every test You've earned this season, you've earned this rest [Outro] Breathe easy now, my faithful one Our sweetest chapter's just begun
