Joey

Almost twenty-six years ago, a Saturday in the sun

At the church picnic, before our lives were one

You walked right over, a basketball in your hand

Said you wanted to know me, and that was where it began

Oh Joey, my lover, my hard-working man

You go so hard for our family, you do all you can

I can still get lost in those clear blue eyes

My handsome prayer warrior, so caring and wise

A threefold cord cannot be easily broken

Our love is the sweetest vow ever spoken

Years rolled by, I became your woman, you became my man

Through the ups and the downs, you never dropped my hand

You held on to me, baby, just like super glue

Funny and so loving, my heart belongs to you

I want you to remember, you are deeply loved

Guided by the grace that comes from above

Oh Joey, my lover, my hard-working man

You go so hard for our family, you do all you can

I can still get lost in those clear blue eyes

My handsome prayer warrior, so caring and wise

A threefold cord cannot be easily broken

Our love is the sweetest vow ever spoken

May the Lord bless you for all you do and have done

In the battles of life, you are not alone

Continue to be exactly who God created you to be

My beautiful fighter, the anchor of our home

We made it this far by the grace of the Lord

Pressing on together, leaning on His word

So keep on smiling, let the worries come undone

Hold on, my darling, the best is yet to come

Oh Joey, my lover, my hard-working man

You go so hard for our family, you do all you can

I can still get lost in those clear blue eyes

My handsome prayer warrior, so caring and wise

A threefold cord cannot be easily broken

I love you so much, more than words could be spoken

Keep smiling, my Joey, the best is yet to come
