Love That Learned to Stand

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Twenty-nine years ago I asked, On bended knee, my heart laid bare. Two kids and dreams too big to hold, We had so little, but we cared. Then you said yes, and lit the road, A steady hand through every load. [Chorus] Oh Nely, you're the reason, You pushed me when I couldn't see. Through every storm and season, Your faith kept building me. By grace we made it, hand in hand, On love that learned to stand. [Verse 2] Late nights of study, worn and tired, You never let me quit the climb. We bought that first small house of ours, Built brick by brick and dime by dime. The kids grew tall, the years grew kind, And still your love outshines my mind. [Chorus] Oh Nely, you're the reason, You pushed me when I couldn't see. Through every storm and season, Your faith kept building me. By grace we made it, hand in hand, On love that learned to stand. [Bridge] I thank the Lord for you each day, For steadfast arms that showed the way. My love keeps growing, sure and true, I owe it all to you. [Verse 3] Now here we are, the sky is wide, A better life, you at my side. I'd say it all again with joy, Devotion nothing can destroy. So thank you, love, for that sweet yes, For every year you've been my rest. [Chorus] Oh Nely, you're the reason, You pushed me when I couldn't see. Through every storm and season, Your faith kept building me. By grace we made it, hand in hand, On love that learned to stand. [Outro] Nely, my heart, my steady flame, I'd choose you every day the same.
