The Hand Upon My Back

Lyrics

[Verse 1] On a weekend built on faith and prayer, Two hearts came searching, laid it bare. You asked the Lord to show the way, He led you to the mass that day. And there you found the answer true— A future waiting, me and you. [Chorus] Loving you more each day, Mama bear, Papa bear, Through every storm we'd weather, God has kept us here together. Faithful, steady, come what may, Oh, I love you more each day. [Verse 2] Fourteen months and rings of gold, Five little souls for us to hold. Through every fear and every fall, You stayed and gave us your all. When walking off seemed easier, still, You chose our love, you always will. [Chorus] Loving you more each day, Mama bear, Papa bear, Through every storm we'd weather, God has kept us here together. Faithful, steady, come what may, Oh, I love you more each day. [Bridge] That morning when my mama flew, Her final dream came home with you. Your hand upon my breaking back— My rock, my faith, when hope was black. [Verse 3] Now thirteen babies laugh and play, And knees grow tired, hair turns gray. The farm is hard, the road is steep, But every promise, we will keep. David, you're my heart, my home, The truest love I've ever known. [Chorus] Loving you more each day, Mama bear, Papa bear, Through every storm we'd weather, God has kept us here together. David, faithful, come what may, Oh, I love you more each day. [Outro] A God-loving man, so good and true, My whole life is complete with you. From mama bear to papa bear, Forever, love, I'll meet you there.
