Carrie Husband- The Compass Rose

Verse 1 You hold the wind before it flies And give the open softer skies What comes to you is not cast wide You bring it close, you let it hide Until the heart can safely know Which way the living thread should go Chorus You are the house where grace can breathe Where scattered things no longer leave What feels exposed can rest with you And gather strength to move anew Where open plains have stretched too far You keep love warm beneath the stars Verse 2 You see what others pass too fast The tender thing that wants to last You do not force the door to show You wait until the roots can grow Then what was held with patient care Finds its own way into the air Bridge From courtyard ground to mountain wind You carry care where roads begin What life has placed within your hand You help it breathe, you help it stand And through your warmth, both soft and strong The unheld finds where it belongs Outro So what remains is not a wall But shelter wide enough for all A rooted grace, a living way A place where breath can safely stay And where your heart has made love known The open finds its way back home
