Bound By Grace, Not Blood

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a light that shines in the morning air, Our sunshine soul who's always there, Hands that lift when the world feels low, A love that only a mother can show. Through every storm she stood her ground, With faith in God, her feet are found. [Chorus] Oh, we thank the Lord above, For a heart so full of love, Eleven blessed by her embrace, Bound by grace, not blood but love. Octavia, your devotion carries on, Our sunshine bright, our morning song. [Verse 2] Bonus children, she called them hers, No line she drew, no less deserved, Around the table, laughter grows, The flavors of home that everyone knows. She'd give her last for a soul in need, A living gospel, love in deed. [Chorus] Oh, we thank the Lord above, For a heart so full of love, Eleven blessed by her embrace, Bound by grace, not blood but love. Octavia, your devotion carries on, Our sunshine bright, our morning song. [Bridge] She found her voice through every trial, Kept the faith and walked each mile, A survivor standing tall and free, Thank God for what she's come to be. [Verse 3] Now the grandbabies climb her knee, Joy overflowing, wild and free, Matriarch with a crown of years, We celebrate you with grateful tears. Octavia, on your special day, We honor all the love you gave. [Chorus] Oh, we thank the Lord above, For a heart so full of love, Eleven blessed by her embrace, Bound by grace, not blood but love. Octavia, your devotion carries on, Our sunshine bright, our morning song. [Outro] Happy birthday, Mama, blessed and true, Our sunshine, every prayer's for you. Thank God above for a love this real, For the beautiful heart of you.
