Across the Courtyard

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Across the courtyard, window light, Two quiet hearts, two separate lives, We never knew, we couldn't say, The love that grew from day to day. But faith was building bridges then, A love that time would soon begin. [Chorus] You are my strength, you are my song, A steady hand when days grow long. By grace we found this holy ground, In you the sweetest comfort's found. Whatever storms may come our way, Your love is courage, come what may. [Verse 2] Then came that white truck rolling near, And all at once you calmed my fear. No more windows, no more wait, Just open doors and open gates. The Lord had written every line, And made your steady heart mine. [Chorus] You are my strength, you are my song, A steady hand when days grow long. By grace we found this holy ground, In you the sweetest comfort's found. Whatever storms may come our way, Your love is courage, come what may. [Bridge] Tony, oh how you work and give, You show us all how love should live. A father's arms, a shelter true, Our thankful hearts belong to you. [Verse 3] Levi and Flower call your name, Karma and Tommy feel the same, And our sons Jared and Jax, Know a gentle giant's got their backs. Simba curls up by your side, And Spring's sweet love won't be denied. [Chorus] Tony, you're my strength, my song, A steady hand when days grow long. By grace we found this holy ground, In you the sweetest comfort's found. Whatever storms may come our way, Your love is courage, come what may. [Outro] From window light to endless days, I'll thank my God for all your ways. Tony, my faith, my heart, my home, With you I'm never on my own.
