Ronald

We met in two thousand eleven, a spark upon a screen

But duty called you far away, to places I'd never seen

To Afghanistan and Iraq, the distance grew so wide

I prayed the Lord would be your shield and stay right by your side

The years went by in silence, but heaven had a plan

To bring me back the faithful heart of this devoted man

Ronald, you're the answered prayer I hold onto

A God-fearing man, compassionate and true

You're protective and patient, keeping our family warm

You are my steady shelter in the middle of the storm

I lift my hands to thank the Lord above

For blessing my life with your endless love

Two thousand fifteen came around, the silence finally broke

My screen lit up, God brought you back, and my whole heart awoke

You told me with a tender love I'll always comprehend

"I had to cross two deserts just to find you once again"

November nineteenth, twenty-seventeen, we said "I do"

The greatest day of my whole life was standing there with you

Ronald, you're the answered prayer I hold onto

A God-fearing man, compassionate and true

You're protective and patient, keeping our family warm

You are my steady shelter in the middle of the storm

I lift my hands to thank the Lord above

For blessing my life with your endless love

When my body grew so weak and illness took its toll

You were the heavy backbone that anchored my soul

Thank you for caring for me, for loving our family so well

With a gentle, quiet mercy that words can hardly tell

I look forward to the future, to the work God has for us

Walking side by side, accomplishing His will in trust

Ronald, you're the answered prayer I hold onto

A God-fearing man, compassionate and true

You're protective and patient, keeping our family warm

You are my steady shelter in the middle of the storm

I lift my hands to thank the Lord above

For crossing two deserts to bring me your love
