Nancy, My Steady Light

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Morning light through the windowpane A quiet hymn, a sweet refrain Thirty-seven years of holding on Through every dusk and every dawn A gentle hand, a faithful heart Right here is where the blessings start [Chorus] Oh, what grace, what tender love A gift sent down from up above Sing hallelujah, sing it true Every day I thank God for you With every breath, with every part You're the music in my heart [Verse 2] Dancing 'round the kitchen floor The little ones you're teaching more Than music, dance, and how to pray You show them love in every way The kitties purr, the kettle sings You bring joy to simple things [Chorus] Oh, what grace, what tender love A gift sent down from up above Sing hallelujah, sing it true Every day I thank God for you With every breath, with every part You're the music in my heart [Bridge] When the storms came rolling in You held my hand through thick and thin And Barry Manilow says with a smile so true "We think you're amazing," and I do too [Verse 3] So happy birthday, my sweet bride With heaven walking by your side Nancy, I am yours alone Devoted till the Lord calls me home For all you give, for all you do There aren't enough songs to thank you [Chorus] Oh, what grace, what tender love A gift sent down from up above Sing hallelujah, sing it true Every day I thank God for you With every breath, with every part You're the music in my heart [Outro] Happy birthday, Nancy dear The sweetest blessing of my years Sing hallelujah, sing it true Forever I belong to you
