From a Stranger to My Whole

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It was April, cold and gray When a friend brought you my way Just a stranger at my door But I felt something more The world was hard, the road was steep A load too heavy for one man to keep [Chorus] Oh, you stayed right by my side Through the storm and rising tide When we had nothing left at all You caught me, love, before the fall Crissa, you're my faith, my ground The sweetest grace that I have found [Verse 2] On those nights beneath the stars No roof, no warmth, just who we are You never broke, you never ran You held my heart, you held my hand And even when your day was long You'd make me feel like I belong [Chorus] Oh, you stayed right by my side Through the storm and rising tide When we had nothing left at all You caught me, love, before the fall Crissa, you're my faith, my ground The sweetest grace that I have found [Bridge] How do you shine when skies are gray? You lift me up in every way A loyalty the years can't bend My steady heart, my closest friend [Verse 3] Now I thank the Lord above For every mile that led to us Whatever comes, whatever's next I'll be your shelter, be your rest The way you stood, the way you gave I'll give it back, all of my days [Chorus] Oh, you'll always have my side Through the storm and rising tide When we had nothing left at all You caught me, love, before the fall Crissa, you're my faith, my ground The truest love that I have found [Outro] From a stranger to my whole You're the peace inside my soul Crissa, always, this I vow Grateful then and grateful now
