The Hands That Held Us

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a light that shines through every storm A steady hand to keep us warm A woman built of faith and grace Carried us to a better place Worked the days and worked the nights Just to give her girls the light [Chorus] Oh, sweet Maggie, what a love you've given Every prayer, every breath, every reason for livin' Hallelujah for the road you walked For the table you set, for the hands you locked Glory, glory, the joy you bring Mama, you taught our hearts to sing [Verse 2] Three little girls with shoes worn thin Mary, Alice, Gloria, and the love within Private school and Sunday hymns You made a way where there was none Six grandbabies, six greats and one more Heaven left a blessing at your door [Chorus] Oh, sweet Maggie, what a love you've given Every prayer, every breath, every reason for livin' Hallelujah for the road you walked For the table you set, for the hands you locked Glory, glory, the joy you bring Mama, you taught our hearts to sing [Bridge] Some days the memories drift like clouds But the old songs still ring loud You remember when we were small And love, sweet love, outlasts it all [Verse 3] 90 years of courage and of grace A holy light upon your face We're so blessed you're with us still Every laugh, every prayer fulfilled Soulful music, Sunday morning sun Mama, the victory you've won [Chorus] Oh, sweet Maggie, what a love you've given Every prayer, every breath, every reason for livin' Hallelujah for the road you walked For the table you set, for the hands you locked Glory, glory, the joy you bring Mama, you taught our hearts to sing [Outro] Maggie, oh Maggie, forever our song In your love is where we all belong
