Rest Your Hands a Moment

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Before the sun comes up, the kettle starts to sing You're moving through the quiet, already handling everything Lunches packed and phone calls made, a list in every hand You never ask for thanks, you just do all that you can [Chorus] Happy birthday, Stephanie, tonight is all for you For every storm you walked us through You hold this family with a love that won't let go So let me hold you now and tell you so [Verse 2] Your sons grew into men beneath the shelter of your care Now grandbabies come running, and you're always waiting there Strong and independent, working weeks and years away But never too tired to listen, never too busy to stay [Chorus] Happy birthday, Stephanie, tonight is all for you For every storm you walked us through You hold this family with a love that won't let go So let me hold you now and tell you so [Bridge] When I fell short, you forgave with grace Gave me a second chance, a softer place I'm grateful for your mercy, for the strength in how you live You taught me love is stronger when you're willing to forgive [Verse 3] So rest your hands a moment, let somebody care for you Your friends and all your family, we see the things you do Tonight the table's full of love, and every bit is true My wife, my strength, my blessing, my whole world through and through [Chorus] Happy birthday, Stephanie, tonight is all for you For every storm you walked us through You gave this family a love that won't let go So let me hold you now and tell you so [Outro] Happy birthday, baby My love, this one's for you
