Steps to Forever

(ahhhh) The

wooden doors swing open wide

A quiet breath,

a trembling step inside

Row by row,

our loved ones stand

To guide me toward your waiting hand

Sunlight pours through colored panes

Washing out the quiet rain

Every prayer

has led to

here

There you

wait beside the altar stone

No longer walking this great world alone

With every measured step I take

It's all the promises we'll make

(ooh, to you)

My mother smiles through happy tears

Remembering the passing years

Your steady eyes,

your open grace

My whole life found within this place

Here at the altar,

face to face

Forever held in love and grace
