Myla Jane Eerdmans

Verse 1

Eighteen years have come and gone
Feels like just a breath
I've watched you grow through all this time
Along life's winding path
From a little girl to who you are
Right here before my eyes
There's a quiet kind of joy I feel
I don't always say out loud

Chorus

And I may not have been there
For every step you've made
But I've always loved you steadily
In a strong and faithful way
Now you're standing on your own
With the whole world in view
And I couldn't be more proud
Of the woman in you

Verse 2

You don't need to have it all
Figured out today
Just take your steps with honesty
And you'll find your way
There's a truth I want to give you
Simple, strong, and true
Something you can lean upon
In everything you do

Bridge

Trust in the Lord with all your heart
Don't lean on what you see
In all your ways, acknowledge Him
He'll guide your steps to be

Final Chorus

So go and build your story
Chase what you believe
Keep your feet on solid ground
And your heart wide open, free
And even if the name has changed
From what it used to be
You'll always be my granddaughter
And I'll always be your Bapa
