My Rising Sun

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Morning light through the window pane A quiet grace, a gentle rain I count the years, I count the ways This love has grown through all our days And there's a name I hold so dear The reason why I'm standing here [Chorus] Chrissy, my only girl, my light You're the answer to my nights Through the storm and the mending, too Every prayer I prayed came true Happy birthday, precious one My beloved, my rising sun [Verse 2] We've walked through valleys, weathered rain We've let go of the weight of pain Forgiveness taught us how to mend A father, daughter, and a friend And faith held tight when roads were long It made this family strong [Chorus] Chrissy, my only girl, my light You're the answer to my nights Through the storm and the mending, too Every prayer I prayed came true Happy birthday, precious one My beloved, my rising sun [Bridge] If I had a thousand years I'd spend them wiping all your tears Grace has carried us this far Look how loved and blessed you are [Verse 3] So on this day I lift you high Beneath a soft and healing sky Whatever comes, whatever grows You're the finest love I know Go and shine, my darling dear I'll be right here year to year [Chorus] Chrissy, my only girl, my light You're the answer to my nights Through the storm and the mending, too Every prayer I prayed came true Happy birthday, precious one My beloved, my rising sun [Outro] Rest in love, you're never alone Chrissy, you'll always have a home
