The Mountain and the Shore

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Every morning starts with grace, Light comes spilling through this place, And I find my quiet strength to stand. Through the years both hard and sweet, Through the doubt and through defeat, There's been someone holding out his hand. A steady voice when skies turned gray, The one who taught me how to pray. [Chorus] You are the light that guides me home, The faith that says I'm not alone. Gene, you're the mountain and the shore, The love that keeps on giving more. So lift your eyes, the storm will break, God is with you in every step you take. [Verse 2] When the nights felt long and cold, You were brave and you were bold, Building family stone by faithful stone. Every prayer we've whispered low, Every seed we've watched to grow, Reminds me you have never walked alone. Your gentle heart, your open door, Has shown me what I'm living for. [Chorus] You are the light that guides me home, The faith that says I'm not alone. Gene, you're the mountain and the shore, The love that keeps on giving more. So lift your eyes, the storm will break, God is with you in every step you take. [Bridge] When you're weary, lean on me, Like you've done so faithfully. Hope is rising, hold it near, Love will always cast out fear. [Verse 3] So take my hand and let's go on, Through every dusk and every dawn, There's a strength inside you built to last. Heaven's watching over you, In all the good you rise to do, Gene, your finest days are not yet passed. [Chorus] You are the light that guides me home, The faith that says I'm not alone. You're the mountain and the shore, The love that keeps on giving more. [Outro] So lift your eyes, the storm will break, God is with you in every step you take.
