Child of the Light

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a small town where the tall trees grow, Brookfield mornings, a soft golden glow. Where a heart was raised on a solid ground, A faith handed down, a beautiful sound. A quiet spirit with a fire inside, Determined to shine, never running to hide. [Chorus] Oh Nancy, you are stronger than you know, Grace in your footsteps everywhere you go. Faith like a river, courage like a flame, Heaven above is singing out your name. Happy birthday, dear child of the light, Your grateful heart makes everything right. [Verse 2] At the water's edge with your grandfather's hand, You rose up new, and you learned to stand. You share every gift, every blessing you hold, A giving heart worth more than gold. Come Christmas morning, Thanksgiving glow, You gather the family, you make our hearts grow. [Chorus] Oh Nancy, you are stronger than you know, Grace in your footsteps everywhere you go. Faith like a river, courage like a flame, Heaven above is singing out your name. Happy birthday, dear child of the light, Your grateful heart makes everything right. [Bridge] When the storm came knocking at your door, You stood in the fire and you gave even more. Angels above are watching you climb, Carrying you gently, one day at a time. [Verse 3] In every classroom, in each lesson taught, You give of yourself, the love that you brought. Courage and kindness, a strength so true, The whole family's proud to be part of you. [Chorus] Oh Nancy, you are stronger than you know, Grace in your footsteps everywhere you go. Faith like a river, courage like a flame, Heaven above is singing out your name. [Outro] Happy birthday, sweet niece of mine, Blessed and beloved, forever you'll shine.
