Jumping On The Running Step

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a moment burned in memory A truck pulling up the drive Little bare feet on the gravel Two years old and so alive Jumping on that running step Before the wheels had even stopped Beaming like the morning sun A gift from God I never could have topped [Chorus] Oh my Sweet, my Sweetie girl You've been the joy of my whole world From mud puddles to a wedding gown Heaven smiled and sent you down With tears of joy I held you then With tears of joy I let go again [Verse 2] After four big brothers came along We prayed and God said yes A daughter full of life and laughing Covered head to toe in mess Three-wheeler flying down the hill Stomping through the woods at will Playing soccer, scoring goals Lylia, you gave us every thrill [Chorus] Oh my Sweet, my Sweetie girl You've been the joy of my whole world From mud puddles to a wedding gown Heaven smiled and sent you down With tears of joy I held you then With tears of joy I let go again [Bridge] You flew to Africa not knowing a soul Came back standing ten feet tall Closer to Jesus, stronger in faith Girl, that was the greatest gift of all [Verse 3] Those late-night talks upon the porch The nos you didn't want to hear You listened and you grew so bright Into this woman standing here From England trips to teaching days Our adventure girl in every way And now you're pledging all your love To Bradley on this beautiful day [Chorus] Oh my Sweet, my Sweetie girl You've been the joy of my whole world From mud puddles to a wedding gown Heaven smiled and sent you down With tears of joy I held you then With tears of joy I let go again [Outro] So I stand beside you, Sweet And thank the Lord above Go live your beautiful adventure Wrapped in His endless love
