Grace With Skin

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Fifty winters, fifty springs Through the laughter, through the tears Some friends fade like passing things But yours has held me all these years When I doubted who I was You stayed steady, you stayed true [Chorus] By His grace, you walked beside me Through the storms and through the light With a love that never left me Holding on with all your might Faith and hope have been our anthem Steady through it all [Verse 2] I was broken, I was small Always second-guessing me But you never let me fall You just loved me patiently Bonnie, you saw past the walls To the soul beneath it all [Chorus] By His grace, you walked beside me Through the storms and through the light With a love that never left me Holding on with all your might Faith and hope have been our anthem Steady through it all [Bridge] You could have walked away from me But you chose to stay, you chose to see A gift from heaven, that's what you are A steady light, my guiding star [Verse 3] Bonnie, how do I begin To thank you for these fifty years For the strength you've poured within For drying every fallen tear You're the answer to my prayer Grace with skin, a friend so rare [Chorus] By His grace, you walked beside me Through the storms and through the light With a love that never left me Holding on with all your might Faith and hope have been our anthem Steady through it all [Outro] Bonnie, forever grateful Forever, my dear friend Love and grace until the end
