Glorious, Because of You

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Two kids in a high school hall, didn't know we'd have it all. So many years of turning pages, love that only grows through all the ages. And through the joy, the tears, the fear, you found a way to keep me here. [Chorus] Oh, you're my home, my steady ground, the truest heart I ever found. Through every storm you held me tight, you carried me into the light. And if you never knew it, dear, you're the reason I am here. [Verse 2] A young dad rocking babes to sleep, promises you always keep. On the sideline calling out the plays, a coach, a guide through all their days. Now Grandpa's arms and steady heart, "whatever you want, babe" — doing your loving part. [Chorus] Oh, you're my home, my steady ground, the truest heart I ever found. Through every storm you held me tight, you carried me into the light. And if you never knew it, dear, you're the reason we are here. [Bridge] When it gets hard you softly say, "it is what it is," and face the day. But Bert, my Bear, oh don't you see — what it is, is glory, built by you and me. [Verse 3] Out in the world you led with steady hands, now you shape the wood, the family plans. A table where we all still gather, proof of all the love you nurtured. Our son, our daughter, me your wife — we stand in awe of your whole life. [Chorus] Oh, you're my home, my steady ground, the truest heart I ever found. Through every storm you held me tight, you hold my hand into the light. And if you never knew it, dear, you're the reason we are here. [Outro] So keep smiling, my love, my friend, the best is still around the bend. It is what it is, and always was — it is glorious, Bert, because of who you are.
