Grace Only Grows
By: Noah Eaton
7/13/02

When the stars seem blurry
When you have a lump deep in your throat
Know you are surrounded by many who love you
Who will blanket you from the cold

When the way home seems so long
When you need someone to take you there
Know He has a plan and love can never fail
Which we all are sending our way to be prepared

Rise up, sweet butterfly
In our hands we hold candles aflame
Rise up, rise to the sky
Through the trauma love will always find a way

Grace only grows
You will only grow stronger
Grace only grows
The tears you cry will only make your love richer

When you feel you're alone in need
When everything seems so unfair
Our myriads of hands are always helping you
Every one willing to give you a helping hand'

Rise up, sweet butterfly
In our hands we hold candles aflame
Rise up, rise to the sky
Through the trauma love will always find a way

Grace only grows
You will only grow stronger
Grace only grows
The tears you cry will only make your love richer

Make a halo with your hands
In His loving hands there's something always there for you
Rest now, as the morning light bathes upon you
For in His loving hands there is comfort just for you
You and me...
You and me...

Rise up, sweet butterfly
In our hands we hold candles aflame
Rise up, rise to the sky
Through the trauma love will always find a way

Grace only grows
You will only grow stronger
Grace only grows
The tears you cry will only make your love richer

"Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..."
