My Steadfast Heart (Remix)

(Soft piano chords drift in with a gentle acoustic guitar melody)

(The steady, soft heartbeat of a drum kick)

The calendar pages turned like autumn leaves

One year, six months, bringing me to my knees

The world was a shadow, the light had gone grey

But you were the anchor that held me in place

You didn't falter, you didn't turn back

You were the lantern on my darkest track

Through every fever and the long, restless night

You held my hand until the morning light

Oh, my love, my rock, my saving grace

I see my whole universe within your face

You were the mercy when I couldn't stand

You were the healing touch upon my hand

When the storm was heavy and the road was long

You were the silence and you were the song

I love you more than words could ever say

You stood by me through the darkest day

You poured out your patience, you gave me your breath

You laughed at the worry, you stared down the depth

While others were fleeing, you planted your feet

Making the bitter taste suddenly sweet

I remember the softness of your voice in the dark

Reigniting the embers, rekindling the spark

I know that a lifetime isn't enough time

To thank you for being the rhythm and rhyme

Oh, my love, my rock, my saving grace

I see my whole universe within your face

You were the mercy when I couldn't stand

You were the healing touch upon my hand

When the storm was heavy and the road was long

You were the silence and you were the song

I love you more than words could ever say

You stood by me through the darkest day

They say for better or worse in the vows that we take

But you lived every promise for goodness' sake

You didn't just witness the struggle I bore

You carried the burden, you opened the door

To a future I thought I would never reach

With a love that no poet could ever quite teach

Oh, my love, my rock, my saving grace

I see my whole universe within your face

You were the mercy when I couldn't stand

You were the healing touch upon my hand

When the storm was heavy and the road was long

You were the silence and you were the song

I love you more than words could ever say

You stood by me through the darkest day

For one year and six months, you gave me your life

My beautiful angel, my beautiful wife

You're the breath in my lungs

You're the beat in my chest

In your arms, my darling

I've finally found rest

(Fading out with a gentle guitar melody)

I love you, forever.
