A Gentle Dawn Called James

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I had made my peace with quiet rooms Learned to set a table just for one Told myself that chapter had its end That my story'd already been done Then you walked in like a gentle dawn And something in my heart began to hum [Chorus] Love, I never thought I'd feel this way again Like the morning found me after endless rain You showed me faith could bloom where I had only known the ache James, you taught this heart to beat again [Verse 2] We've walked through valleys dark and long Days that tried to break us to the bone But you carried me when I couldn't stand Never once did you let me walk alone Through the hardest storms we found our way And forgiveness built a deeper home [Chorus] Love, I never thought I'd feel this way again Like the morning found me after endless rain You showed me faith could bloom where I had only known the ache James, you taught this heart to beat again [Bridge] And watching you with tiny hands in yours Being papa with that gentle grin Fills my heart in ways I can't explain You gave me more than I knew life could give [Verse 3] Those grandbabies light up when you're near They see the man I fall for every day Devoted, steady, patient, kind and true A love like this could only come from grace James, I thank the Lord He carried me to you And gave this widow's heart a second place [Chorus] Love, I never thought I'd feel this way again Like the morning found me after endless rain You showed me faith could bloom where I had only known the ache James, you taught this heart to beat again [Outro] My heart is full, my darling, because of you I'd choose you every lifetime through
