Sharon

Thirty-five years ago, we were just starting out

Mrs. Baker introduced us, there was love without a doubt

But we were young and restless, and the seasons made us part

I never knew the Lord was just preparing my heart

We went our separate ways down a long and winding road

Carrying the heavy weight of a solitary load

Sharon, a change has finally come

God has ordained this relationship, look what He has done

I promise to love you past your pain

Through the sickness, the waiting, and the rain

Rest your weary soul, let the old fears flee

Forever and always, your heart is safe with me

I was spiraling down, a widower lost in the night

Wasn't looking for a friend, I couldn't see the light

Then I stood in the water with my granddaughter by my side

Washed in the spirit, with nothing left to hide

A God-sent tap on my shoulder, I turned around to see

And a bolt of electricity came rushing over me

Sharon, a change has finally come

God has ordained this relationship, look what He has done

I promise to love you past your pain

Through the sickness, the waiting, and the rain

Rest your weary soul, let the old fears flee

Forever and always, your heart is safe with me

You hadn't looked for love in over five long years

Tired of the messy men, tired of the tears

You give your all to your ninety-two-year-young mother

Selfless and kind, always looking out for another

Even battling sickness, needing a kidney of your own

You love unconditionally, the greatest grace I've known

We weren't looking for each other, but heaven had a plan

The Lord knew exactly how to heal this broken man

He brought you back to lift my spirit from the ground

In His perfect timing, look at the joy we found

Oh Sharon, a change has finally come

God has ordained this relationship, look what He has done

I promise to love you past your pain

Through the sickness, the waiting, and the rain

Rest your weary soul, let the old fears flee

Forever and always, your heart is safe with me

Yes, forever and always, your heart is safe with me
