The Mercy in My Heart

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Out of long and lonely nights, We both had chased the neon lights. Two broken hearts still learning how to mend, Then somewhere down that dusty road, We laid our heavy loads, And found in one another a new friend. [Chorus] Oh Carolina, you're my always and my prayer, Through every storm we walked, I always found you there. Our children in our arms, a love the Lord designed, Carolina, you're the mercy in this heart of mine. [Verse 2] We were reckless, fast, and true, I met your kids, you met mine too, A love so bold we couldn't help but fall. We nearly let the darkness win, But grace came flooding in, And Jesus stood beside us through it all. [Chorus] Oh Carolina, you're my always and my prayer, Through every storm we walked, I always found you there. Our children in our arms, a love the Lord designed, Carolina, you're the mercy in this heart of mine. [Bridge] On our knees we learned to pray, He carried what we couldn't say. What almost tore us both apart, Became the faith that healed my heart. [Verse 3] Now here's another year with you, Still choosing love the whole way through, A candle lit, a table full of grace. Happy birthday to my bride, Forever by your side, I see the whole world shining in your face. [Chorus] Oh Carolina, you're my always and my prayer, Through every storm we walked, I always found you there. Our children in our arms, a love the Lord designed, Carolina, you're the mercy in this heart of mine. [Outro] Through Christ our love stays strong and free, Happy birthday, you're the best of me.
