Swain

Some people might have talked about our ages

But you just looked at me and didn't care

We started serving God and turned the pages

Building up a happy life on every prayer

I didn't know the storm that was approaching

Or how the sunny skies would turn to gray

But I knew I had a good man to hold onto

When the doctor took my breath away

Oh Swain, when the cancer came to find me

You stepped right up and carried all the weight

You took care of the family right behind me

And loved me through the hardest twist of fate

You told me you would never leave my corner

And you became my anchor in the dark

I'll love you for forever, my sweet husband

For pouring all your light into my heart

It was a heavy road of fear and sorrow

A shadow hanging over everything

But you were there to promise me tomorrow

With all the quiet comfort you could bring

You showed me what a vow is really made of

When sickness tries to take the joy away

You didn't run, you didn't let me give up

You held my hand and helped me face the day

Oh Swain, when the cancer came to find me

You stepped right up and carried all the weight

You took care of the family right behind me

And loved me through the hardest twist of fate

You told me you would never leave my corner

And you became my anchor in the dark

I'll love you for forever, my sweet husband

For pouring all your light into my heart

I am so grateful for the grace you gave me

When I was at the lowest I could be

We're serving God, and He knew what He was doing

The day He sent a younger man to rescue me

Oh Swain, when the cancer came to find me

You stepped right up and carried all the weight

You took care of the family right behind me

And loved me through the hardest twist of fate

You told me you would never leave my corner

And you became my anchor in the dark

I'll love you for forever, my sweet husband

For pouring all your light into my heart
