The Reason That I Rise

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Morning light comes soft and slow Coffee steam and radio Another day the good Lord gave And here beside me, brave and true A heart that's kind in all she'd do The one that answered every prayer I made [Chorus] Oh, she's the reason that I rise The joy that lives behind her eyes More than myself, I love her so She loves her God, and I love her Every day I'm certain, sure My Angela, the sweetest gift I know [Verse 2] Ten little souls we raised as one Through sleepless nights and morning sun Now grandkids climb into her lap and laugh She says just what she means and stays Lets the harsh words roll away She understands the deepest parts of me [Chorus] Oh, she's the reason that I rise The joy that lives behind her eyes More than myself, I love her so She loves her God, and I love her Every day I'm certain, sure My Angela, the sweetest gift I know [Bridge] When I am low she lifts me high A creative fire, a faithful light Angela Ann, my strength, my friend I'd walk this whole world through again [Verse 3] She cares for folks with hurting hearts Gives her time, her healing arts A godly woman, funny, smart, and wise No reason but the love I feel No special day, but oh it's real Just because you're heaven in my life [Chorus] Oh, she's the reason that I rise The joy that lives behind her eyes More than myself, I love her so She loves her God, and I love her Every day I'm certain, sure My Angela, the sweetest gift I know [Outro] Angela Ann, my whole life through There's no one, love, I'd rather do This living, breathing world with, only you
