Rickey

We met inside the sanctuary doors

Two heavy hearts just looking for the Lord

Sharing the grief that brought us to our knees

You sat beside me, offering me peace

We spent our days just talking through the pain

Finding the sunshine underneath the rain

Oh, Rickey, you're the answer to my prayer

A patient, kind provider who is always there

My husband, my best friend, my comforter and guide

I am so blessed to have you walking by my side

I thank God for the love that you create

And how you healed the wounds you didn't make

Brick by brick, we built a brand new life

Out of the shadows, stepping in the light

Your gentle spirit held me when I cried

You never rushed me, you just stayed beside

A steady rock when I was feeling weak

You are the quiet healing that I seek

Oh, Rickey, you're the answer to my prayer

A patient, kind provider who is always there

My husband, my best friend, my comforter and guide

I am so blessed to have you walking by my side

I thank God for the love that you create

And how you healed the wounds you didn't make

You poured the oil of gladness on my soul

You took the broken pieces, made them whole

With every single kindness that you show

I just want you to hear it and to know

I love you more than words could ever say

You wash the sorrow of the past away

Oh, Rickey, you're the answer to my prayer

A patient, kind provider who is always there

My husband, my best friend, my comforter and guide

Forever and always walking by my side

I thank God for the love that you create

And how you healed the wounds you didn't make

Thank you for healing the wounds you didn't make
