Fields of Gold and Grace

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Fifty years of morning light, Out in the fields at break of day, A steady hand through every season, Watching the cattle as they graze. You gave us more than words could carry, A home where love would always stay. [Chorus] Oh Dan, you are the faithful kind, The steady heart, the strongest vine, Through fields of gold and years gone by, You lifted us up toward the sky. Thank you for the life you gave, The love that never once has swayed. [Verse 2] You worked the land from dawn till dark, You carried burdens without complaint, For Sara, Patrick, and for me, You were provider, friend, and saint. And oh, that laugh that fills the room, It turns the gray to golden June. [Chorus] Oh Dan, you are the faithful kind, The steady heart, the strongest vine, Through fields of gold and years gone by, You lifted us up toward the sky. Thank you for the life you gave, The love that never once has swayed. [Bridge] Your faith has been a guiding star, Your church, your God, right where you are. Still helping others, come what may, Even through this harder day. [Verse 3] You made friends everywhere you went, A kinder soul I've never known. And when the storm came knocking loud, You met it strong, you weren't alone. So here's my heart, my grateful song, For fifty years I've loved you long. [Chorus] Oh Dan, you are the faithful kind, The steady heart, the strongest vine, Through fields of gold and years gone by, You lifted us up toward the sky. Thank you for the life you gave, The love that never once has swayed. [Outro] Fifty years and still you shine, Your Babs is grateful you are mine.
