Eighteen Springs of Gold

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some souls arrive like morning light A gift we didn't know we'd need Born in spring, a Florida sky Planted like a perfect seed Five months later, arms wide open Our family finally felt complete [Chorus] We will praise through every tear We will trust You brought him here Eighteen years of so much love Now he's shining up above And we'll carry what he gave Every single blessed day [Verse 2] That boy could find trouble before noon Then at bedtime steal your heart Pool days, baseball, sushi runs Road trips singing in the car Dad beside him, windows down Talking life beneath the stars [Chorus] We will praise through every tear We will trust You brought him here Eighteen years of so much love Now he's shining up above And we'll carry what he gave Every single blessed day [Bridge] Stephon dressed in all his bling Bright colors, that smile, everything A gentle giant, tender heart Sharing Jesus from the start [Verse 3] He found the lonely ones at school And made them feel like they belonged Tony came to Arkansas Those baseball brothers standing strong He planned to be the first to go And prove that dreams could carry on Stephon loved with open arms His hugs could heal what felt so wrong [Chorus] We will praise through every tear We will trust You brought him here Eighteen years of so much love Now he's shining up above And we'll carry what he gave Every single blessed day [Outro] Stephon, we love you to the moon We'll meet again in Heaven soon
