Walking Her Home

Broken & Beautiful
by Mark Schultz

Looking back
He sees it all
It was her first date the night he came to call

Her dad said son
Have her home on time
And promise me you’ll never leave her side
He took her to a show in town
And he was ten feet off the ground

(Chorus)
He was walking her home
And holding her hand
Oh the way she smiled it stole the breath right out of him
Down that old road
With the stars up above
He remembers where he was the night he fell in love
He was walking her home

Ten more years and a waiting room
At half past one
And the doctor said come in and meet your son

His knees went weak
When he saw his wife
She was smiling as she said he’s got your eyes

And as she slept he held her tight
His mind went back to that first night

(Chorus)

He walked her through the best days of her life
Sixty years together and he never left her side

A nursing home
At eighty-five
And the doctor said it could be her last night
And the nurse said Oh
Should we tell him now
Or should he wait until the morning to find out

But when they checked her room that night
He was laying by her side

Oh he was walking her home
And holding her hand
Oh the way she smiled when he said this is not the end
And just for a while they were eighteen
And she was still more beautiful to him than anything
He was walking her home
He was walking her home

Looking back
He sees it all
It was her first date the night he came to call

====================================

This song lyrics seems like a story plot of a movie. :) Actually, I was supposed to post this for valentines. Time flies so fast I didn't notice it's almost the end of the month. Anyway, it's still February...better late than never.hehe.

One Step At A Time [Full lyrics]

When something seems
Too hard to handle
Too big to conquer
Too far away to touch

When all your dreams
Begin to shatter
And deep inside you
You're hurtin', oh, so much
That's when it's time to say

Refrain:
I'm climbing my mountain, step by step
I'm climbing my mountain, day by day
I'm climbing my mountain, all the way
I'm climbing my mountain
I'm gonna make it

Chorus:
One step at a time
One step at a time
One step at a time
With Jesus by my side
One step at a time
One step at a time
I'm climbing my mountain
One step at at time

Even though you might grow weary
Don't be discouraged
In our weakness God is strong

Remember this, He'll never leave you
He won't forsake you
He's your strength and He's your song
So sing and start to say...
(Refrain then Chorus)

================================

Can't really remember the second verse and Mr. Google can't help me this time. I asked my mom and my brother if they remember the second verse. They made me sing first (1st verse and chorus) so they could remember the tune and hopefully the lyrics. Unfortunately, they could only remember the chorus. But my mom remembered she wrote the lyrics in her small notebook. (We had the album in cassette tape but unfortunately the album cover was lost already.) Good thing my mom still have that small notebook. :)

Thoughts I've realized... it's good to take notes and remember where you put the notebook (hehe!), and I'm just amazed how God designed our memory! :)

One Step At A Time

When something seems
Too hard to handle
Too big to conquer
Too far away to touch

When all your dreams
Begin to shatter
And deep inside you
You're hurting, oh so much

And now it's time to say
I'm climbing my mountain, step by step
I'm climbing my mountain, day by day
I'm climbing my mountain, all the way
I'm climbing my mountain
I'm gonna make it

One step at a time
One step at a time
One step at a time
With Jesus by my side
One step at a time
One step at a time
I'm climbing my mountain
One step at a time

=========================================

This is just the most I could extract from my memory bank. hehe. I can't remember the 2nd verse. Anyway, it takes moment-by-moment discipline to shake off worry. And it's really amazing how God brings encouragement during those weary times. Now my mind is not filled with worry anymore. It's busy trying to remember the 2nd verse. hehe.

Comforting line... One step at a time, with Jesus by my side
