Loving Grace - lyrics by Danny Schmidt

LOVING GRACE

Do you ever pay your words their mind in the quiet of the night
The gravity of vows that bends the golden rings of light
Around our fingers, around our hearts, and around our child's face
The halo of commitment spreads the wings of loving grace
Oh my, we're wrapped inside
The wings of loving grace

I know that I can come untied, but the finest of our threads
Will always bind your heart to mine through the fog inside my head
I know I go so far sometimes, I know I drift away
But I'll always know the pull of home on the thread of loving grace
Oh my, I'll always find
The thread of loving grace

There's things that I'm too proud to share when I'm nose to nose with you
There's things that you deserve to hear, if only cause they're true
You're a marvel and a menace and a temptress of the fates
You're the hammer of compassion in the hands of loving grace
Oh my, you multiply
The hands of loving grace

I bow my head and thank my stars
They're the brightest in the night
Then vow again to do my part
Cause loving grace finds fortune in the efforts of the heart

No one says the days aren't hard and no one says the years
Won't fight you like they plan to win, and won't wash the scrapes with tears
I come in some surrender with a flag of wedding lace
The ancient sacred dressing of the wounds of loving grace
And then I hope to mend
The wounds of loving grace
