The Shore Across the Sea

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a distance that the ocean keeps, A shore of white beyond the deep. Some days the miles feel far too wide, When I am weary deep inside. But love's soft glow still finds its way, Through all the burdens of the day. [Chorus] Oh, I carry all you gave to me, Your gentle hands, your grace, your belief. Heaven holds you now, but you're not gone, Your love still lifts me, carries me on. Mom, you're the light that guides me home. [Verse 2] I remember how you stood so near, Your steady voice made pathways clear. You'd wipe away each tear I cried, And whisper faith when hope had died. In moments proud, I wish you'd see, The one you always saw in me. [Chorus] Oh, I carry all you gave to me, Your gentle hands, your grace, your belief. Heaven holds you now, but you're not gone, Your love still lifts me, carries me on. Mom, you're the light that guides me home. [Bridge] You saw more than I dared to be, And every triumph flows through me. Your words still echo, sweet and free. [Verse 3] When I miss the things you'd softly say, And think you feel a world away, I know that what you gave lives on, Your healing love is never gone. And one bright day I'll cross the sea, And see you standing there for me. [Chorus] Oh, I carry all you gave to me, Your gentle hands, your grace, your belief. Heaven holds you now, but you're not gone, Your love still lifts me, carries me on. Mom, you're the light that guides me home. [Outro] Till that beautiful shore, I'll hold you near, Mom, your love is always here.
