That Stubborn Grace

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Nineteen eighty-three, a crowded room, A jukebox playing some old tune. Every fella asked her for a dance, But she just smiled and turned her glance. There was somethin' 'bout that stubborn grace, The kindest light on the prettiest face. [Chorus] Oh Barb, you stayed through thick and thin, Loved me back when I was lost within. Through every storm you held on tight, Your faith became my guiding light. Thirty-six years, still holding on, My steady love, my morning song. [Verse 2] We broke apart, then found our way, Some things worth waiting come to stay. Five little moves in three short years, We built a home through joy and tears. Three fine sons who walk in grace, 'Cause you showed them a Father's face. [Chorus] Oh Barb, you stayed through thick and thin, Loved me back when I was lost within. Through every storm you held on tight, Your faith became my guiding light. Thirty-six years, still holding on, My steady love, my morning song. [Bridge] I wasn't always what you deserved, But you never left, you never swerved. You forgave the man I used to be, And loved him into who I'm free to be. [Verse 3] Out in the woods as evening came, Your first deer down, we tracked the same. Now Grammy Babs to little ones, A granddaughter, a grandson. Barbara, you're the answered prayer, The proof that grace was always there. [Chorus] Oh Barb, you stayed through thick and thin, Loved me back when I was lost within. Through every storm you held on tight, Your faith became my guiding light. Thirty-six years, still holding on, My steady love, my morning song. [Outro] Here's to us and all we've known, Barbara, love, you brought me home.
