The Grace I See in Joleen

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a porch light burning down the lane Through the August heat and April rain Some hearts give and never ask a thing Like a church bell that just loves to ring Lord, I'm thankful every single night You put one of those right by my side [Chorus] She puts everybody first in line Gives her last dollar every time To help somebody chase a dream That's the grace I see in my Joleen And when she laughs, the whole world's right She makes me smile on the darkest night [Verse 2] She loves so deep, a hard word cuts like glass It hurts her more than any pain could last Still she's loyal to her family and friends Stands beside them till the very end I was just a rough and restless man She made me better just by holding my hand [Chorus] She puts everybody first in line Gives her last dollar every time To help somebody chase a dream That's the grace I see in my Joleen And when she laughs, the whole world's right She makes me smile on the darkest night [Bridge] Now her brother's drifting through the haze Losing names and sweet old yesterdays But she holds him close and sings him home Darlin', you will never walk alone [Verse 3] So here's a song for no reason at all Just because you catch me when I fall We see your heart, the way you give and give For family and friends, it's how you live Unconditional, like heaven's grace God's own kindness shining on your face [Chorus] You put everybody first in line Give your last dollar every time To help somebody chase a dream That's the grace I see in you, Joleen And when you laugh, the whole world's right You make me smile on the darkest night [Outro] Just because, I thank the Lord above For you, my wife, and your endless love
