There at the
Gate where duty met with
Mercy I faced the
Cost of love made visible
There
Another stood
First yet stepped away from
Burden so I stood
Up to carry what remained
Not for my
Gain but for a widow's
Future and for a
Name that must not disappear
I will ful
Fill the vow of nearness and re
Demption
I will stand
Near and gather what was
Lost
Where others
Feared the cost of faithful
Kindness You made my
Heart a shelter full of
Grace
Fields once left
Bare would bear a line for
Coming through foreign
Tears You wrote a house of
Praise
I took her
Hand beyond the town's sus
Picion and heaven
Breathed its blessing on our home
Duty and
Love were never far a
Part there in holy
Fear I answered what You asked
I will ful
Fill the vow of nearness and re
Demption
I will stand
Near and gather what was
Lost
Where others
Feared the cost of faithful
Kindness You made my
Heart a shelter full of
Grace
From empty
Arms You formed a new be
Ginning from grief and
Need You raised a royal line
The child that
Came would echo through the
Ages mercy gave
Root and history was changed
You did ful
Fill the vow of nearness and re
Demption
You stood so
Near and gathered what was
Lost
Through simple
Trust You carried holy
Purpose and made one
Home a doorway into
Grace
God of the
Kind and quietly faith
Ful givers teach us to
Love with courage at the gate
