Everyday Grace

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a porch light burning on a gravel road A coffee pot warm when the mornings are cold Some men chase the spotlight, some chase the crowd But the best ones I know never say it out loud Then there's the man who walks in soft and slow And the whole room brightens everywhere he goes [Chorus] He's the first to lend a hand The first to bow and pray He doesn't tear you down He lifts you up to stay [Verse 2] Hay-soos, you listen when the world won't hear You make folks feel seen, you make them feel near No shiny trophies lining up the wall Just everyday grace, and that's worth it all Being next to you makes me want to be A better woman, a better me [Chorus] He's the first to lend a hand The first to bow and pray He doesn't tear you down He lifts you up to stay [Bridge] When the storms roll in and the fields turn gray You're the steady oak that won't give way Our kids will learn from the way you stand Faith in your heart and a helping hand [Verse 3] So blow out the candles, make a wish tonight Another year of love in a quiet light Your legacy's not written on a sign It's in every soul you lifted up in time Hay-soos, I thank the Lord above For your gentle strength and your faithful love [Chorus] You're the first to lend a hand The first to bow and pray You never tear us down You lift us up to stay [Outro] Happy birthday, Hay-soos, my man of faith Your quiet goodness lights my every day
