Steady as the Sea

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Forty years have come and gone, Like a hymn we've carried on, Through the seasons, through the years, Faith has held us, dried our tears. Every morning, grace anew, Thank the Lord that I found you. [Chorus] Oh, what joy you bring to me, A love as steady as the sea, Through the valleys, storms that came, You stood strong and called His name. Grace upon grace, you are the sign Of heaven's mercy, love divine. [Verse 2] You raised our son with gentle hands, Built a home where mercy stands, When the shadow tried to fall, You rose up and beat it all. Twice you walked through fire and fear, And by His grace, you're standing here. [Chorus] Oh, what joy you bring to me, A love as steady as the sea, Through the valleys, storms that came, You stood strong and called His name. Grace upon grace, you are the sign Of heaven's mercy, love divine. [Bridge] Betsi Green, my faithful rock, My answered prayer, my steady dock, The sweetest soul I've ever known, God's greatest gift He's ever shown. [Verse 3] On this day, July the same, I'll thank the heavens for your name, Betsi, all these forty years, Have been my joy beyond my fears. And if He grants us many more, I'll love you, Betsi, evermore. [Chorus] Oh, what joy you bring to me, A love as steady as the sea, Through the valleys, storms that came, You stood strong and called His name. Grace upon grace, you are the sign Of heaven's mercy, love divine. [Outro] Thank you, Lord, for all her days, For Betsi Green and all her grace. Forever grateful, hand in hand, Two hearts held in His plan.
