[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Sunrise paints the years in gold
A story quietly told
Not of us, but something more
A love that opened every door
We stood here once, two hearts unsure
But anchored by a love so pure
A constant light, a steady hand
Guiding us across the sand
[Chorus]
Oh, the love that holds us fast
Stronger than the shadows cast
Not our own, but freely giv'n
The very breath by which we're liv'n
This golden thread, this saving grace
Reflected in this time and place
Christ's own love, the truest spark
Lighting up the years, the dark
[Verse 2]
Through seasons changing, joy and tears
Through all the hopes, the passing fears
This deeper current, strong and deep
A promise that it's ours to keep
Not earned, but offered, day by day
To walk within its perfect way
A shelter when the storms blew wild
The Father looking on His child
[Chorus]
Oh, the love that holds us fast
Stronger than the shadows cast
Not our own, but freely giv'n
The very breath by which we're liv'n
This golden thread, this saving grace
Reflected in this time and place
Christ's own love, the truest spark
Lighting up the years, the dark
[Bridge]
So here we stand, another year
Bound by grace, held ever near
To the source, the endless well
Where perfect love will ever dwell
A borrowed light, a sacred flame
We lift in thanks, we praise His name
For this reflection, strong and true
His boundless love shines down on you... and me
[Chorus]
Oh, the love that holds us fast
Stronger than the shadows cast
Not our own, but freely giv'n
The very breath by which we're liv'n
This golden thread, this saving grace
Reflected in this time and place
Christ's own love, the truest spark
Lighting up the years, the dark
[Outro]
