The Family That We Made

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some love is built one day at a time, On kitchen floors and Sunday grace. We gathered hearts, both yours and mine, And made them one, in one warm place. Every child we called our own, Through every field, we never walked alone. [Chorus] Oh, we praise Him for the road, For the laughter and the load. Faith and joy that kept us strong, Sondie, you're my whole life's song. Thank you, LORD, for what you gave— This is the family that we made. [Verse 2] We watched them out on Friday nights, Cheered the flips and chased the ball. We clapped through songs and stage-lit lights, And taught them Jesus loves them all. Blended hearts became just one, Beneath the moon and morning sun. [Chorus] Oh, we praise Him for the road, For the laughter and the load. Faith and joy that kept us strong, Sondie, you're my whole life's song. Thank you, LORD, for what you gave— This is the family that we made. [Bridge] Now the kids are grown and gone, With little ones to carry on. Still it's you and me, my dear— Through every year, I'm right here. [Verse 3] When the world felt hard and cold, Our faith the strength that we could hold. We built a home on solid ground, Where love and grace and grit are found. So here's my heart, my whole life through, Sondie, there is only you. [Chorus] Oh, we praise Him for the road, For the laughter and the load. Faith and joy that kept us strong, Sondie, you're my whole life's song. Thank you, LORD, for what you gave— This is the family that we made. [Outro] Just because, I love you so, More than these simple words can show.
