you were born in the city but that was not home you were made for the country and dusty dirt roads you longed for the places where wild flowers grow
even when you were little you knew there was more to life than just living it was there in your core you heard about jesus and knew he was yours
you took his hand and you didn’t let go you let him take you down the hardest road it wasn’t easy but you never said no you took his hand and you didn’t let go
when you went off to college you were the one who went to the parties but stuck to your guns and walked your friends home after they had too much
you were pretty and blue eyed but all the boys knew there were lines in the sand they could not cross with you and it made some night lonely but you made it through
you took his hand and you didn’t let go you let him take you down the hardest road it wasn’t easy but you never said no you took his hand and you didn’t let go
some called you stubborn feisty and hard but you were driven to live out what was there in your heart and sometimes your decisions meant you had to stand alone but when it came to loving it was there in your bones
so that day on the river when that young girl slipped you reached out and grabbed her and held to her wrist and as you lost to the current you never loosened your grip
you took her hand and you didn’t let go you let her take you down the hardest road though it wasn’t easy you never said no you took her hand and you didn’t let go you took her hand and you didn’t let go
