Full Circle Farm

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Born a country boy on a tobacco field, Hands in the soil, a heart that wouldn't yield. A college girl came walking down the lane, Two hearts that shared the work, the sun, the rain. Since 1980 we have held the line, Through every storm, your steady hand in mine. [Chorus] Oh Michael, you've always been there, Through the darkest nights and the weight we could not bear. By faith and by courage, you carried us through, And every good thing in this life came from you. [Verse 2] We knew the years when the cupboards ran thin, We crossed the world to bring our first child in. And when the fight came for our boy so young, We fell to our knees, held on, and hung on. You'd fix anything that a heart could break, Quiet in your love, but never fake. [Chorus] Oh Michael, you've always been there, Through the darkest nights and the weight we could not bear. By faith and by courage, you carried us through, And every good thing in this life came from you. [Bridge] Grandfather's farm has come home again, Full circle now, where our story began. Praise the Lord for the road we have known, And three good children we've watched fully grown. [Verse 3] At seventy-six you are trying so hard, To leave them a name that is honest and scarred. With five old dogs and a heart full of grace, You showed our family what love looks like in place. Michael, my strength, we're not finished yet, The best of our days aren't a memory yet. [Chorus] Oh Michael, you've always been there, Through the darkest nights and the weight we could not bear. By faith and by courage, you carried us through, And every good thing in this life came from you. [Outro] So here's to the years, and the ones still to come, Your hand and my hand, forever as one.
