Forever in Your Grace

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Brooklyn staircase, summer light Passed you on the steps that day Hair done right, shades on your head Looking fly, took my breath away Something whispered, "She's the one" And my heart knew what my lips couldn't say [Chorus] You stayed ten toes down through it all When I stumbled, you stood tall Every lie and every fall You chose love through it all Queen of grace, queen of faith Nothing gonna take your place [Verse 2] Years went on, you gave me life A baby boy to carry my name Four years later, our little girl This world would never be the same Twenty-six years of highs and lows I brought the rain, but you never changed [Chorus] You stayed ten toes down through it all When I stumbled, you stood tall Every lie and every fall You chose love through it all Queen of grace, queen of faith Nothing gonna take your place [Bridge] I don't deserve the mercy in your hands But you forgave me, helped me be a better man Tahkema, your heart's a blessing I can't earn A new beginning every single time I learn [Verse 3] Tahkema Monique, my everything Stronger than these words could ever hold You kept our family standing firm When the winter nights were cold I'm writing you this song because You deserve more than a crown of gold So here I stand, a changed man My queen, my love, my hand to hold [Chorus] You stayed ten toes down through it all When I stumbled, you stood tall Every lie and every fall You chose love through it all Queen of grace, queen of faith Tahkema, nothing gonna take your place [Outro] Forever in your grace, my queen The best thing Brooklyn ever gave to me
