That Hand on a Country Road

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Thirteen years old, we rode out one day, To look at some land along the way, Just goofing around, my parents and me, And Benny who worked for my family. Then a hand reached out and took a hold of mine, And I heard the Lord say, "That's the one, in time." [Chorus] Oh, it was faith that lit the way, Love that grew a little more each day, Through the storms we held on tight, Two hearts learning to do it right. God had a plan, He always knew, He was leading me straight to you. [Verse 2] I called my friend, too shy to say, "Ask him for me," in that sweet old way. Five long years, then I was grown, Eighteen and brave, I made it known. "Marry me," and he said "yes" with a grin, And that's where forever would begin. [Chorus] Oh, it was faith that lit the way, Love that grew a little more each day, Through the storms we held on tight, Two hearts learning to do it right. God had a plan, He always knew, He was leading me straight to you. [Bridge] October fourth, we picked the day, So you'd remember, come what may — 'Cause little Socks, our baby true, Was born that date, you'd remember too. [Verse 3] Now Benny, look at all we've made, A daughter, a son, the foundation laid, Grandbabies laughing, blessings run deep, Promises we always keep. Benny, my love, my steady ground, The greatest gift I ever found. [Chorus] Oh, it was faith that lit the way, Love that grew a little more each day, Through the storms we held on tight, Two hearts still doing it right. God had a plan, He always knew, Benny, He led me straight to you. [Outro] From a hand on that country road, To this beautiful life we've sowed — Faith and love, forever true.
