Melinda

The very first day that you walked in my view,

My spirit felt lighter, my weary soul knew.

You carried a grace that I couldn't explain,

Like morning light breaking right through the rain.

Melinda, you lifted my eyes to the sky,

I knew you were sent from the Father on high.

Oh, Melinda, you're the rock where we stand,

Guiding your family and friends by the hand.

A beautiful blessing, my wonderful wife,

The answered prayer of my everyday life.

I look at your heart and I clearly can see,

The love that the Lord has poured out upon me.

When the winds of this world start to blow at our door,

You anchor us down, you're the strength we adore.

To our family and friends, you're a shelter of peace,

With a comforting word and a faith that won't cease.

You walk in His light and you show us the way,

A steady foundation, day after day.

Oh, Melinda, you're the rock where we stand,

Guiding your family and friends by the hand.

A beautiful blessing, my wonderful wife,

The answered prayer of my everyday life.

I look at your heart and I clearly can see,

The love that the Lord has poured out upon me.

John three sixteen tells of love so divine,

How He gave His own Son for your spirit and mine.

It’s that same holy grace that brought you to my side,

My heaven-sent uplift, my partner, my bride.

Oh, Melinda, you're the rock where we stand,

Guiding your family and friends by the hand.

A beautiful blessing, my wonderful wife,

The answered prayer of my everyday life.

I look at your heart and I clearly can see,

The love that the Lord has poured out upon me.

Yes, God sent an angel to be my sweet wife,

Melinda, my rock and the joy of my life.
