Mercy Caught Us Falling

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A friend once set two strangers face to face, Never knew that hand was full of grace. Thirty years have come and gone like rain, Through the joy and through the quiet pain. Somewhere in the storm we lost our way, Then we knelt and learned to kneel and pray. [Chorus] God will keep us together, Through the fire, through the weather. Forgiveness washed the past away, Love grows stronger every day. Oh, my dear, we're standing tall, His mercy caught us when we'd fall. [Verse 2] Doug, for years the wounds I bore were plain, Twenty-eight I carried all that pain. Then finally your eyes were opened wide, You saw the tears I never had to hide. A better path, a brand new plan, One year of faith rebuilt this man. [Chorus] God will keep us together, Through the fire, through the weather. Forgiveness washed the past away, Love grows stronger every day. Oh, my dear, we're standing tall, His mercy caught us when we'd fall. [Bridge] Michelle and Donovan, our precious two, Cindy and Bryan we raised them too. Now three dogs fill this quiet nest, And grocery aisles hold our sweetest yes. Hand in hand until the sky grows dark, Your hand in mine is all I need. [Verse 3] Tall and handsome, steady as the dawn, The strength of God is what we lean upon. Doug, my dear, I'd choose you every time, Redeemed and whole, forever mine. Empty house but overflowing heart, Nothing here on earth can pull apart. [Chorus] God will keep us together, Through the fire, through the weather. Forgiveness washed the past away, Love grows stronger every day. Oh, my dear, we're standing tall, His mercy caught us when we'd fall. [Outro] Thirty years and still we climb, Hand in His, and yours in mine.
