Empty Pockets, Full of Grace

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a little church at the edge of town Where the dust road meets the morning sun Two kids with nothing but a promise And a love that had only just begun I was twenty, you were just eighteen Not a dollar, Lord, but we had a dream [Chorus] Thank You, Lord, for the gift You gave me For the hand that's never let me fall She's the strength when my own strength fails me She's the reason I can stand at all Oh Mar, you're my answered prayer Every road I've walked, you were there [Verse 2] We built a home out of borrowed hours Patched the roof and made the money stretch You stood beside me through the hard times And you never once looked back Then God blessed us with Alex and Herardo And our baby girl, our sweet Erika [Chorus] Thank You, Lord, for the gift You gave me For the hand that's never let me fall She's the strength when my own strength fails me She's the reason I can stand at all Oh Mar, you're my answered prayer Every road I've walked, you were there [Bridge] When the storms came rolling through our door You held this family on your knees in prayer I've never known a stronger woman I've never seen a love so rare [Verse 3] Now the years have rolled like summer rivers And I'm prouder than a man can say Of every sacrifice you carried Every tear you wiped away If I had it all to do again I'd still choose you, amen [Chorus] Thank You, Lord, for the gift You gave me For the hand that's never let me fall She's the strength when my own strength fails me She's the reason I can stand at all Oh Mar, you're my answered prayer Every road I've walked, you were there [Outro] Two young hearts with empty pockets Lord, You filled them up with love Mar, you are so loved
