Muddy Shoes on the Mat
Style: Gospel celebration

[Verse 1]
Muddy shoes tossed on the mat
Left right where you walked through
Every mess you leave behind us
Just means we get more of you

[Chorus]
Vera, the whole house lights up
Nobody shines quite so clear
Sing it loud and sing it nearer
Glad another year, you're here

[Verse 2]
You track the whole world through this door
Fields and storms stuck to your feet
We never mind the floor you tracked up
You bring the noise, you bring the heat

[Pre-chorus]
Hear the hands start clapping now
Feel the joy begin to swell
Something in us wants to tell you

[Chorus]
Vera, the whole house lights up
Nobody shines quite so clear
Sing it loud and sing it nearer
Glad another year, you're here

[Bridge]
However far your feet have gone
However deep the mud, however far
You always find your way here to us
Right where you are

[Chorus]
Vera, the whole house lights up
Nobody shines quite so clear
Sing it loud and sing it nearer
Glad another year, you're here

[Outro]
Kick off your shoes and stay a while
We're glad you tracked your way back home
