Walking Every Mile

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some love stories start with just a glance A moment God had written in advance A girl selling shoes, a boy walking in Savannah summer, nineteen fifty-eight Three months was all it took to seal their fate A shotgun at the altar made Paul grin [Chorus] Through every storm and every Sunday sun Faithful hands that held when days were hard Bobby and Nell, two hearts beating as one Walking every mile, guided by the Lord [Verse 2] He'd miss that bus and walk those city streets Just to see her smile, made the miles feel sweet A badge he wore for fifty faithful years She ironed his uniforms with steady hands Raised up four babies, never made demands Chicken and dumplings dried a world of tears [Chorus] Through every storm and every Sunday sun Faithful hands that held when days were hard Bobby and Nell, two hearts beating as one Walking every mile, guided by the Lord [Bridge] Pammy, Sharon, Mark, and sweet Marci too An angel voice now singing heaven's song And little Robby shining in that blue They're cheering from the place where they belong [Verse 3] Chocolate milkshakes down at Krystal after church That white station wagon rolling to the beach No riches in the bank but never left in lurch Love the only gospel they would preach Twelve grandchildren and the babies of their own Bobby and Nell, you built a kingdom from a home [Chorus] Through every storm and every Sunday sun Faithful hands that held when days were hard Bobby and Nell, two hearts beating as one Walking every mile, guided by the Lord [Outro] Sixty-seven years of amazing grace Still faithful, still together, still in love Still walking every mile to that holy place
