Alexis

Alexis, my daughter, so beautiful and smart

You carry the love of the Lord in your heart

I smile when I watch you preparing a meal

You cook with a passion and joy I can feel

You never gave up on me, through all the years

You stayed by my side and you dried all my tears

The Lord is my shepherd, I have all I need

He leads by still waters, my spirit is freed

He restores my soul, and He makes my heart whole

My cup overflows with the grace that I see

His goodness and mercy are following me

Alexis, you are a true blessing to me

I stood in the room on that beautiful day

And watched as the waiting just melted away

You brought a sweet baby girl into this life

A gorgeous new miracle, radiant and bright

You made me a Mimi, my spirit was full

I praised the Good Shepherd who authored it all

The Lord is my shepherd, I have all I need

He leads by still waters, my spirit is freed

He restores my soul, and He makes my heart whole

My cup overflows with the grace that I see

His goodness and mercy are following me

Alexis, you are a true blessing to me

When I walked through the valley, you held onto my hand

You never gave up on me, you helped me to stand

He prepares us a table, He pours out the oil

He blesses our family and honors our toil

With goodness and mercy for all of our days

I lift up my voice in a chorus of praise

The Lord is my shepherd, I have all I need

He leads by still waters, my spirit is freed

He restores my soul, and He makes my heart whole

My cup overflows with the grace that I see

His goodness and mercy are following me

Alexis, I praise Him for giving you to me
