Chris

It started on Snapchat, a digital spark

A sudden connection out of the dark

I didn't know then what heaven had planned

But now I am standing here holding your hand.

You put up with me when I'm hard to be near

You silence my chaos and quiet my fear

You offer me patience I haven't earned

And give me a grace that I leave unreturned.

Oh Chris, I pray that your eyes will be opened

To see all the beauty you bring to this life

You carry the heavy, you mend what is broken

And I am so grateful to be called your wife.

Look at the man that you're made of

I need you to know you are worthy of love.

So worthy of love.

I think of the day that our world became three

When Oliver finally came to you and me

I watched you hold him, so gentle and mild

A beautiful father welcoming his child.

And even at home, when the shadows fall long

You step up and serve just to keep us all strong

You do all the things that you shouldn't have to do

I don't know a soul who is selfless as you.

Oh Chris, I pray that your eyes will be opened

To see all the beauty you bring to this life

You carry the heavy, you mend what is broken

And I am so grateful to be called your wife.

Look at the man that you're made of

I need you to know you are worthy of love.

So worthy of love.

Sometimes I wonder how I got so blessed

To lay my head on your shoulder and rest

If ever a shadow tries whispering a lie

Just look at our son, look at him and know why.

You are the anchor, the heart of this home

And I'll make sure you never feel it alone.

Oh Chris, I pray that your eyes will be opened

To see all the beauty you bring to this life

You carry the heavy, you mend what is broken

And I am so grateful to be called your wife.

Look at the man that you're made of

I need you to know you are worthy of love.

You are worthy of love.

My beautiful Chris, you are worthy of love.
