You Held the Faith

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some roads run longer than they should Some prayers just echo through the wood Some nights the silence fills the room And spring forgets the way to bloom Eleven years I watched you stand With heaven's promise in your hand [Chorus] You are my rock, you are my anchor When the waters rose too high You kept me floating when I was drowning You held the faith when mine ran dry Jason, you held me together When I was coming all undone [Verse 2] I cried on every empty morning You'd pull me close against your chest You'd whisper, "Darlin', our time's coming" Then bow your head and pray the rest When my hope was worn and thin You were the light that let me in [Chorus] You are my rock, you are my anchor When the waters rose too high You kept me floating when I was drowning You held the faith when mine ran dry Jason, you held me together When I was coming all undone [Bridge] Lord, You gave him strength for two When I had none, he carried through And now You've blessed us with a son Strength to carry one [Verse 3] Come April, there's a baby boy Who'll fill this house with all our joy He'll have your laugh, your gentle ways Your faith to face the hardest days Jason, this is just the start Of the best road for our hearts [Chorus] You are my rock, you are my anchor When the waters rose too high You kept me floating when I was drowning You held the faith when mine ran dry My love, you held me together And now our new life has begun [Outro] Eleven years, you never let go My rock, my anchor, my home Our little boy is on his way And I'll love you more every day
