Steady Hand That Guides Us Home

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a quiet kind of strength In the ones who hold the line, Who carry all the weight And never ask for what is theirs. A steady hand that guides us home, A light that will not fade, The one who shows us love In every little thing she made. [Chorus] You're the heart of our family, The one who keeps us whole, When the storm rolls in you steady us, You calm each restless soul. Oh Darlene, we thank the Lord For all the love you give, You bring us all together And you show us how to live. [Verse 2] Through the years you gave and gave, Never counting what it cost, You gathered up the broken pieces, Nothing loved was ever lost. And on this day we celebrate The gift that you have been, A new beginning rising As we honor you again. [Chorus] You're the heart of our family, The one who keeps us whole, When the storm rolls in you steady us, You calm each restless soul. Oh Darlene, we thank the Lord For all the love you give, You bring us all together And you show us how to live. [Bridge] You're the glue that holds us close, Through every high and low, Somehow you make us all believe That everything's gonna be okay. [Verse 3] So happy birthday, dear Darlene, May blessings fill your years, May every prayer you whispered Come back sweeter through your tears. The memories you've given us Will stay forever true, And all the love you've planted Will keep blooming back to you. [Chorus] You're the heart of our family, The one who keeps us whole, Oh Darlene, we thank the Lord, You're the glory in our soul. [Outro] The heart of our family, Forever loved you'll be, Sweet Darlene, our sister, God's gift to you and me.
