Stitches of Grace

Six pairs of hands on the cotton and thread (mmm) Piecing the

scraps of the lives that we led

One hundred years in the Lutheran hall

Stitching a shelter to catch her fall

Secrets in calico, stories in blue

(yeah) Holding the truths that our grandmothers knew

She's making her way in the world on her own

But she won't be wrapping that baby alone

Stitch her a blanket,

cover her deep

Give her a promise that she gets to keep (oh,

stitch it close) Six women strong and a hundred years wide

We sew all our love and our hope on the inside

Every knot tied is a secret we keep

For the girl and the baby who's fast asleep (hallelujah)

We don't cast a stone and we don't ask for why

Under the cold Minnesota sky

Stitch her a blanket,

cover her deep

Give her a promise that she gets to keep (yes,

we will) Six women strong and a hundred years wide

We sew all our love and our hope on the inside

Six pairs of hands on the cotton and thread...

(hmmm) All of our love on the inside
