Shelby in the Doorway

[Verse 1]
Shelby puts coffee on the stove
Before the sun wakes up
She ties that hair and takes the day
Like she’s been given enough
She’s loving with her whole wide heart
Kind right down to the bone
And when life gets heavy on my back
She makes our house a home

[Pre-Chorus]
She don’t just say it
She lives it true
Strong hands, soft touch
In all she do

[Chorus]
Shelby, Shelby, you’re my home
You took my girls and called them your own
Shelby, Shelby, Lord above
You hold us up with steady love
And when I look at you, I see
Jesus shining back at me
Shelby, Shelby, you’re my home

[Verse 2]
My oldest girl came in your arms
With a little guarded heart
You never asked her to fit your mold
You loved her from the start
You learned her laughs, you learned her hurts
You knew just what to say
Now she runs straight to your front step
Like you’ve always been her name

[Pre-Chorus]
And when our youngest came along
I saw your face turn bright
Like heaven left a trace on earth
In that hospital light

[Chorus]
Shelby, Shelby, you’re my home
You took my girls and called them your own
Shelby, Shelby, Lord above
You hold us up with steady love
And when I look at you, I see
Jesus shining back at me
Shelby, Shelby, you’re my home

[Bridge]
You teach our girls to pray at night
To forgive and to be brave
You show me what real love looks like
Every single day
And I’ll spend my whole life saying thanks
For the gift I get to keep
For Shelby at the kitchen door
And that holy look you gave to me

[Chorus]
Shelby, Shelby, you’re my home
You took my girls and called them your own
Shelby, Shelby, Lord above
You hold us up with steady love
And when I look at you, I see
Jesus shining back at me
Shelby, Shelby, you’re my home

[Outro]
Shelby, Shelby, you’re my home
Shelby, Shelby, you’re my home
