“Thirty Years of Grace”
Southern Gospel · FreeCustomSong Original
Over thirty years ago, I was heavy in my soul
Then you walked into my life and the Lord made me whole
You reached out a gentle hand, you saved me by His grace
I found a loving refuge in the kindness of your face
Patient and so tender, a quiet, steady guide
I thank the Good Lord every day that you are by my side
ChorusYou are my everything, my anchor in the tide
With a heart so dedicated, where faith and love abide
You shepherd our family, you serve the Lord above
And not a single day goes by without your steadfast love
You love me just for who I am, Pastor Jim, my faithful friend
I love you more than life itself, all the way until the end
Verse 2Three decades we’ve been married, and the years have flown so fast
But a bond built on the rock is a bond that’s built to last
You always show me mercy, you treat me with such care
Every morning that I wake, I see your spirit there
You never try to change me, you hold me in the light
You're the man who saved my heart and made my spirit right
ChorusYou are my everything, my anchor in the tide
With a heart so dedicated, where faith and love abide
You shepherd our family, you serve the Lord above
And not a single day goes by without your steadfast love
You love me just for who I am, Pastor Jim, my faithful friend
I love you more than life itself, all the way until the end
BridgeOh, a love like this is holy, a testament so true
Of what the grace of Heaven does when it shines on through
Your gentle soul, your patient ways, a blessing from above
I'm standing here today because you saved me with your love
Final ChorusYou are my everything, my anchor in the tide
With a heart so dedicated, where faith and love abide
You shepherd our family, you serve the Lord above
And not a single day goes by without your steadfast love
You love me just for who I am, Pastor Jim, my faithful friend
I love you more than life itself, all the way until the end
