“Because I, dropped your hand while dancing
Left you out there standing
Crestfallen on the landing
You had a speech, you're speechless
Love slipped beyond your reaches
And I couldn't give a reason
so I watched you break
I never was ready, so I watch you go
Sometimes you just don't know the answer
Even when love is right there for you to grab
But you'll find the real thing instead
She'll patch up your tapestry that I shred
And hold your hand while dancing
Never leave you standing
Crestfallen on the landing
You won't remember all my
messed up problems.”

Because we accepted by faith the sacrifice of His Son Jesus, we were allowed the freedom to grow in every area of our life, especially our marriage!”
