This was written for my wife. No mere human can bear the weight of poetry, but most of this is actually true. And no, her name isn't Grace.

lyrics

God’s Good Grace (Sam Arthur)

Say you got a woman – let me tell you about mine
A friend and a lover - she’s top of the line
She could have done better but she settled on me
Her voice is a melody
Her love is a mystery

A beautiful contrast that captivates
Like a deer grazing by the interstate
She can be calm when I’m out of control
She coaxes me out of my foxhole
Talks me out of that hole

Cho: She sanctifies things I can’t rise above
Tears down walls with her holy love
Each new day with her is evidence of
God’s good grace

She made me sober, she made me wise
When I’m weak she can empathize
She’s as steady as a train on a track
And she never looks back
She never looks back

Cho: She sanctifies things I can’t rise above
Tears down walls with her holy love
Each new day with her is evidence of
God’s good grace

There may be a better woman but I haven’t seen it
She says "I love you", I know she means it
I want to end it all holding on tight
To her hand when they turn out the lights
To her love when they turn out the lights

Cho: She sanctifies things I can’t rise above
Tears down strongholds with her holy love
Each new day with her is evidence of
God’s good grace

However a banjo player can be 95 years old and still have credibility, so they switched to folk, bluegrass and gospel. They asked Lisa to sing with them because their voices both stunk and hers was very good. The name "The June Bugs" was chosen after an extensive free-association-by-email. ... more
