Beneath Star Swept Sky

Beneath star swept sky,
                                        My darling and I
                                   Held hands in the breeze
                                            of the night
                                   We were still in our teens
                                      Dreams played out 
                                          hope's scenes
                                       And we held to the
                                         future so bright

                                    Love pulled like a rope
                                   Then I said, like a dope
                                  "You are like a Greek god 
                                              to me!"
                                      He sighed in my ear
                                   "No way my sweet dear!
                              In Jesus, my God is my hope!"

                                    His faith was so deep
                                In God's grace was steeped
                              And his faith brought my heart
                                         such great joy
                                       A vow and a ring,
                                        a hallowed thing
                                  And a King Who would 
                                        always us keep

                                   The babies came 'long
                                    Into our blessed song
                                  And the years turned to 
                                        decades So fast
                                  But my hearts in a whirl
                                       As it was as a girl
                                  In Grandpa's sweet arms
                                         Gram' belongs

                                    Our stories been told
                             Though young, we're quite old
                                   My precious sweet boy 
                                         and his bride
                                  As we stand 'neath the 
                                     stars with the hope
                                          that is ours
                                   In memories steeped
                                          side by side
