My Heart Inside Your Hand

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Morning light comes soft and slow, A quiet hymn the sparrows know. There's a heart that beats for others, For her children, for her mother, A gentle soul who lives to give, Who teaches all of us to live. [Chorus] Oh, grace like a river, faith like a flame, Strength in her whisper when she calls out His name. Courage for the family, love that won't depart, Happy birthday, my darling, you're the song in my heart. [Verse 2] She sets the table, lights the room, Turns the ordinary bloom. Every joy she works to make, Every burden she will take. LuAnn, you carry us along, You are the melody, the song. [Chorus] Oh, grace like a river, faith like a flame, Strength in her whisper when she calls out His name. Courage for the family, love that won't depart, Happy birthday, my darling, you're the song in my heart. [Bridge] I don't know why you chose to love me, A wonder I can't understand, But heaven leaned down soft and lowly, And placed my heart inside your hand. [Verse 3] LuAnn, you gave your love to God, And still you saved some just for me. Through every season, every road, Your faithful heart set my heart free. So here's my prayer, my simple part: May you feel treasured, may you feel adored. [Chorus] Oh, grace like a river, faith like a flame, Strength in her whisper when she calls out His name. Courage for the family, love that won't depart, Happy birthday, my darling, you're the song in my heart. [Outro] Happy birthday, sweet LuAnn, Held forever, hand in hand.
