Beneath the Old Oak Tree

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Beneath the shade of an old oak tree A young man trembled, took a chance on me With a six-string voice and a heart held wide He sang "Open Arms," and I stepped inside That first sweet kiss, he nearly lost his breath A holy moment, love that conquered death [Chorus] Oh, what a faithful, faithful love A gift sent gently from above Through every season, joy and tears You've been my peace through all these years Hope that anchors, love that stays I'll praise the Lord for all our days [Verse 2] You taught our children how to stand in grace Joshua and Pantip walking in Your ways And our sweet Kara, oh, the way you care A father's tenderness beyond compare Little Luca's laughter fills our home A garden growing from the seeds we've sown [Chorus] Oh, what a faithful, faithful love A gift sent gently from above Through every season, joy and tears You've been my peace through all these years Hope that anchors, love that stays I'll praise the Lord for all our days [Bridge] Victor, my Victor, God's hand on your name Through all of life's changes, your heart stays the same A shelter, a shepherd, a song in the breeze You opened your arms and you carried me [Verse 3] Now here we stand, still hand in hand On promises made where the oak tree stands Every chapter written, every prayer we've prayed Every hallelujah, every vow we've made Victor, my love, what a road we've known A faithful God, and we're not alone [Chorus] Oh, what a faithful, faithful love A gift sent gently from above Through every season, joy and tears You've been my peace through all these years Hope that anchors, love that stays I'll praise the Lord for all our days [Outro] Beneath that oak, beneath the sky Victor, my forever, you and I
