Roots of Grace

{warm fingerpicked acoustic guitar intro} {soft piano

chords entering gradually}

You opened up your front door

With a smile that felt like home

Took the weight right off my shoulders

Said I'd never be alone

I was guarded, I was silent

Trying hard to find my place

But you answered every breakdown

With a patient, steady grace (humm)

And you didn't have to hold me

You didn't have to stay

But you chose to be my anchor When the current pulled away

Oh, you made me who I am today

{crying pedal steel swells} Now I look at where I'm standing

All the dreams I get to chase

Every boundary that I conquered

Started in your warm embrace

(thank you) And you didn't have to hold me

You didn't have to stay

But you chose to be my anchor When the current pulled away

Oh, you made me who I am today

You're my mother, you're my home (hmm-mm) {gently fading acoustic guitar and

piano chords} {final soft string

note}
