Love Steady (Lyrics)

When I became a mother
Something new was born in me
Besides that newborn baby, something grew inside to be
A new kind of hope
new kind of dreams, a power and strength that helped me see
A whole new world of possibilities
Of who I could be for love.

Then diapers and dishes got in the way
Of my vision to live my ideals
Wiping the wishes out of my day
Challenging how to feel that love
Heaven help me ’cause
I’m only one
How can I become
something great something more
Than I’ve ever been before
How can I give my child the best in me?
Heaven’s answer was, “love, above all,
Just love steady steady….

Love steady”
Now several children later
I have learned so much as Mom
I’m growing as they’re growing and I’m
Learning to be calm
This journey brings joy
This journey brings pain
This journey is a gift to me
A gift to witness Heaven’s miracles
Of who we can be with love.

Through diapers and dishes
Mood swings and mess
And living without much sleep
Kind words, hugs, and kisses
Bring out the best
And help us to have and keep
That love, Heaven helps me
‘Cause I’m only one
But I can become
Something wise, something more than I’ve ever been before
I don’t have to be everything all at once
‘Cause Heaven’s answer was love
Above all, just love steady steady ….
Love steady.
