Gold Beneath the Ache

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Two years of walking through the gray Learning how to breathe again The sun came back in quiet ways Through an unexpected friend A laugh I didn't think I'd hear Pulled me gently out of fear [Chorus] This is a new beginning A second kind of grace Hands I never planned on holding Tears I'm not afraid to face Love is writing one more chapter With a softer, kinder pen And I'm learning how to open My whole heart up again [Verse 2] Stacy, you walked in so brave Carrying your own long road Standing strong, yet unafraid To let me help you with the load Equal partners, side by side Heaven knows you are my pride [Chorus] This is a new beginning A second kind of grace Hands I never planned on holding Tears I'm not afraid to face Love is writing one more chapter With a softer, kinder pen And I'm learning how to open My whole heart up again [Bridge] You are not what life has broken You are gold beneath the ache Every word I've ever spoken Stacy, I mean for your sake [Verse 3] You make me want to be the man Worth the love you freely give Faith and trust in every plan This is how we're meant to live Only God can fully see How much you mean to me [Chorus] This is a new beginning A second kind of grace Hands I never planned on holding Tears I'm not afraid to face Love is writing one more chapter With a softer, kinder pen And I'm thanking God for showing What real love can be again [Outro] Stacy, here's to you and me And all the days to be
