The Day Before the Miles

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The day before the miles took me away, A stranger held the door, showed grace that day. Twelve hours stretched between us, far and wide, But letters crossed the distance, side by side. Long phone calls into the night, Somehow I knew that God had made it right. [Chorus] Oh, twenty-five years of amazing grace, A love that only heaven could have made. Through every valley, every mountain high, You've been my answered prayer, my reason why. Thank You, Lord, for this blessing from above. [Verse 2] Darren, you gave me grace to fall and rise, You laugh with me, you see through my disguise. You call me sweetheart, I call you my Hon, My biggest strength when all my strength is gone. "Keeper of the Stars" you sang so sweet, And made my whole entire world complete. [Chorus] Oh, twenty-five years of amazing grace, A love that only heaven could have made. Through every valley, every mountain high, You've been my answered prayer, my reason why. Thank You, Lord, for this blessing from above. [Bridge] He's been beside me through all that life has had to offer. Children. Elderly or sick parents. Walked with me as I dealt with my sister passing away. Through rough times and through good times, he's been there. [Verse 3] Darren, a father steady, kind, and true, No greater gift than doing life with you. When needs arise, your hands are always near, You wipe away my every falling tear. I'm blessed beyond all words I know, Because you love me, and you tell me so. [Chorus] Oh, twenty-five years of amazing grace, A love that only heaven could have made. You've been my answered prayer, my reason why. [Outro] Thank You, Lord, for my Darren, my Hon, Twenty-five years, and we're just getting on.
