Nonnie

I look back at the water, feel the grace on my skin

Gave my heart to the Lord before my life could begin

A little girl stepping out, baptized in the stream

Trusting the Maker to carry my dream

Through every single season, a loyal, faithful friend

I knew His love was a river with no end

Now I look at the reflection of the woman I've become

And I know that every blessing is a gift that He has done

I am nothing without God, just a soul on the sea

But He opens up doors I could never walk through, just for me

He's my provider in the storm, my strength when I am weak

He's the guide for my steps when I can't even see

He is my everything, my comfort in the darkest hour

Holding Nonnie steady by His grace and His power

I poured out my spirit as a mother and a guide

Watching my grandchildren growing up with pride

From the PTA President to the Girl Scout trails

Giving all my time so the children wouldn't fail

Mobile Public Schools, down to the Boys & Girls Club floor

From part-time to Director, He kept opening the door

A retiree still serving, a warm-hearted soul

Educating the youth, just trying to make them whole

I am nothing without God, just a soul on the sea

But He opens up doors I could never walk through, just for me

He's my provider in the storm, my strength when I am weak

He's the guide for my steps when I can't even see

He is my everything, my comfort in the darkest hour

Holding Nonnie steady by His grace and His power

A prayer warrior standing, an encourager and friend

A protector and a nurturer on whom they can depend

Empathetic and committed, I just try to be the hands

Of the ultimate Servant who guides all my plans

Every Volunteer of the Year, every life that I've touched

Is only because my Savior loves me so much

I am nothing without God, just a soul on the sea

But He opens up doors I could never walk through, just for me

He's my provider in the storm, my strength when I am weak

He's the guide for my steps when I can't even see

He is my everything, my comfort in the darkest hour

Holding Nonnie steady by His grace and His power

Yes, He reminds me He is there, even in the darkest hour
