  Verse 1

  The green boat cuts through the waves Salt is drying white on the rail I keep my hand where yours was You never once seem to fail

  Chorus

  Wesley, you steady my whole day Some things get worn but you don't rust Every crossing feels less far Wesley, in you I put my trust

  Verse 2

  Spray comes up and stings my eyes Still I won't step back from you Wind keeps trying to take my voice You just hold on and pull me through

  Pre-chorus

  I've watched the salt crust and grow Watched you stay while old things go There's a thing I need you to know

  Chorus

  Wesley, you steady my whole day Some things get worn but you don't rust Every crossing feels less far Wesley, in you I put my trust

  Bridge

  No grand shore waiting up ahead Just this deck, this rail, this you Nothing here needs to be fixed I only need this to stay true

  Chorus

  Wesley, you steady my whole day Some things get worn but you don't rust Every crossing feels less far Wesley, in you I put my trust

  Outro

  The rail still wears its white crust I'd cross again for only you

  A steady gospel soul love song for Wesley, built from the plain image of walking uphill together, honest and unshaken rather than sweet.

  Verse 1

  Grass bends yellow on the slope Boots dig in against the wind I keep climbing, holding hope You're the reason I begin

  Pre-chorus

  I've been tested on this hill Every step has cost me something But my heart won't sit still

  Chorus

  Wesley, you're the best of me Steady when the ground gets steep Nothing here comes easily But it's you I mean to keep

  Verse 2

  Wind can turn a body testy Cold can make the softest zesty I don't need the path to level Just your hand when things get messily

  Bridge

  No view from here I'd trade away No easier road I'd rather climb You make the hardest kind of day Feel worth every step and time

  Chorus

  Wesley, you're the best of me Steady when the ground gets steep Nothing here comes easily But it's you I mean to keep

  Outro

  The grass still leans the way it always leant I'm still here, and that's what love meant

  Verse 1

  Feathers drift across the tarmac Nothing chasing, nothing frantic Two white lines and one small space You're the one who fills it, Wesley

  Pre-chorus

  I could stand here doing nothing Just watching how you move so slow Every quiet thing gets louder

  Chorus

  Wesley, you're the calm I needed Not the loudest, not the greediest You just steady what I bring Wesley, you're my best of me

  Verse 2

  Cars go past and never notice What we've got between the closest Feathers settle, then they're gone But you stay put, you always do

  Bridge

  I don't need the grand or zesty Just this parking lot at rest with You beside me, nothing pressing No performance, only presence

  Chorus

  Wesley, you're the calm I needed Not the loudest, not the greediest You just steady what I bring Wesley, you're my best of me

  Outro

  Let the feathers keep on drifting I've got you, and that's the whole of it
