The Lantern in the Gray

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a quiet kind of holy In the way she holds the day Hands that work through every season Hands that fold and softly pray She's the steady when the world shakes She's the lantern in the gray [Chorus] Oh, what love, what faith, what fire Built this home where hearts can stay Every prayer became a shelter Every tear, a brighter day She's the joy that never wavered She's the strength that found a way [Verse 2] Fifteen years she stood unshaken Single hands that never broke Lifting children through the storms With a faith she always spoke Mentor, mother, gentle warrior Carrying more than most could hold [Chorus] Oh, what love, what faith, what fire Built this home where hearts can stay Every prayer became a shelter Every tear, a brighter day She's the joy that never wavered She's the strength that found a way [Bridge] Melissa, you're the reason Love still feels like coming home A safe haven, sweet devotion Where our roots have fully grown [Verse 3] And we'll grow old here together In the life that you have made Every laugh inside these walls Every memory you saved Melissa, oh my Melissa Heaven smiled the day you stayed [Chorus] Oh, what love, what faith, what fire Built this home where hearts can stay Every prayer became a shelter Every tear, a brighter day She's the joy that never wavered She's the strength that found a way [Outro] Happy Mother's Day, my darling Every day I'm yours to praise
