He Calls Me Penelope

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Forty-nine years down this winding road, Carried each other through every load. Built a home from faith and sweat, Two little girls we'll never forget. Julie and Laura, our shining stars, Grandkids dancing where the porch light shines far. [Chorus] Oh, what a love, what a blessed life, A working man and his city wife. Through every prayer and every song, God has carried us all along. Celebrate, celebrate this winding road, Hand in hand wherever we go. [Verse 2] He coached the games, never missed a cheer, Softball nights and Friday years. Loyal as the mountains stand, Gentle heart and working hands. Steve, my Steve, with that quiet grace, Prayers like rivers down his face. [Chorus] Oh, what a love, what a blessed life, A working man and his city wife. Through every prayer and every song, God has carried us all along. Celebrate, celebrate this winding road, Hand in hand wherever we go. [Bridge] When the storm came and took my breath, Your whispered prayer outran the rest. Millions joined you on their knees, And God brought me home to Steve. [Verse 3] Gatlinburg hills and a dog named Grady, Ava, Allie, Davis — your sweet babies. He calls me Penelope, holds me near, Six carats sparkling, fifty years here. A courthouse vow becomes a bride, A real white wedding by your side. [Chorus] Oh, what a love, what a blessed life, A working man and his city wife. Through every prayer and every song, God has carried us all along. Celebrate, celebrate this winding road, Hand in hand wherever we go. [Outro] My strength, my soul, my dearest friend, Steve, I'll love you to the end.
