Worth Every Year — Selah Sound Collective (Genesis 29)

Verse 1 I came a long way east with the dust on my coat, nothing in my hands but a name and a hope. Then I saw you at the well in the gold of the sun, and I knew that my running was finally done.

Pre-Chorus There's a stone on that well that takes ten men to raise, and I lifted it alone just to look at your face.

Chorus Seven summers, seven springs, worth every year for the love it brings. Let the long years rush on through, 'cause seven years felt like a few. (felt like a few) For the love I have for you, oh, seven years felt like a few.

Verse 2 I came down with the flock and I wasn't looking for more, just a stranger and a kindness I had not seen before. You broke down by the water, you were weeping out loud, and I ran the whole way home through the field and the crowd.

Pre-Chorus And you stayed, and you worked, and you never once complained, and the only wage you wanted was the sound of my name.

Chorus Seven summers, seven springs, worth every year for the love it brings. Let the long years rush on through, 'cause seven years felt like a few. (felt like a few) For the love I have for you, oh, seven years felt like a few.

Bridge (Male) I would do it all again, (Female) you would do it all again. (Male) Every season, every year, (Female) every season brought you near. (Male) Roll the stone back where it stood, (Female) you would wait it if you could. (Both) And we'd call the whole of it a single day, 'cause love don't count the cost the way the years do anyway.

Final Chorus So we had our seven springs, and we counted nothing for the love it brings. We watched the long years rushing through, and seven years felt like a few. (felt like a few) For the love I have for you, oh, seven years felt like a few.

Outro Seven years, and they felt like a few.
