Returned To My Side

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Fifty-four years down this road, Through the storms and heavy loads. Two sweet daughters, hand in hand, Six more blessings when we stand. By His grace we've come this far, Faithful through each fallen star. [Chorus] Oh, what a love the Lord has grown, A steady flame, a hand to hold. Full of faith and ready grace, I still see heaven in your face. Joetta, you're my morning song, The joy that's carried me along. [Verse 2] Keeper of our humble home, Mother's heart that never roamed. When the years grew hard and worn, Still you smiled through every storm. Little things may slip your mind, But your love's the truest kind. [Chorus] Oh, what a love the Lord has grown, A steady flame, a hand to hold. Full of faith and ready grace, I still see heaven in your face. Joetta, you're my morning song, The joy that's carried me along. [Bridge] That day the road went dark and cold, Twice the Lord could've called you home. But He returned you to my side— A gift of mercy, love alive. [Verse 3] Now we thank Him every day, For the grace that lit our way. Sixty-five is up ahead, More sweet mornings, prayers we've said. Joetta, walk this road with me, In faith and hope and jubilee. [Chorus] Oh, what a love the Lord has grown, A steady flame, a hand to hold. Full of faith and ready grace, I still see heaven in your face. You're my morning song, The joy that's carried me along. [Outro] Through every year, come what may, His mercy holds us, come and stay.
