Doug

It started out with talking on the phone

A steady voice that made me feel at home

Our first date was a table set for more

Sharing pizza with the kids, that's what I loved you for

You didn't mind the chaos or the noise

You just smiled and settled right into the joy

Doug, you're a patient, caring Christian man

Guiding our family with a gentle hand

You love us fiercely, and you love the Lord

You're everything I could have asked Him for

I look at the life we've built and I confess

Having you as my husband, I am blessed

You build our foundation on a solid rock

You lead with your heart and always walk the walk

You put God first above all earthly things

And show me the peace that true devotion brings

Through every season, you stay faithful and true

There is a light from heaven shining out of you

Doug, you're a patient, caring Christian man

Guiding our family with a gentle hand

You love us fiercely, and you love the Lord

You're everything I could have asked Him for

I look at the life we've built and I confess

Having you as my husband, I am blessed

From those early days of sharing a slice

To the beautiful years of this wonderful life

You never wavered, you always stood tall

A faithful believer who loves through it all

'Cause Doug, you're a patient, caring Christian man

Guiding our family with a gentle hand

You love us fiercely, and you love the Lord

You're everything I could have asked Him for

I look at the life we've built and I confess

Having you as my husband, I am blessed

Oh, thank God for you, Doug, I am truly blessed
