Jermell

We stayed up all night talking till the morning light

Waiting for the turning of the year

New Year’s Eve of twenty-eleven

You asked the question I was longing to hear

You got down and promised me forever

I gave my heart to you that very night

God was writing out our beautiful story

And leading us into this holy light

Jermell, they say when a man finds a wife

He finds a blessing and favor for his life

But I’m the one who found the greatest grace

Fourteen years of waking up to your face

We said our vows on the day you were born

A double celebration, a love so warm

God put us together for a reason, it’s true

I found my forever, I found it in you

I see the way you lead us every day

A hardworking father who lives by his faith

A deacon in the church, a man of the Word

With the most tender heart that I've ever heard

I think about the white sands down in Destin

The ocean breeze and our romantic escape

You’d do anything just to see us smiling

You are the shelter that our family makes

Jermell, they say when a man finds a wife

He finds a blessing and favor for his life

But I’m the one who found the greatest grace

Fourteen years of waking up to your face

We said our vows on the day you were born

A double celebration, a love so warm

God put us together for a reason, it’s true

I found my forever, I found it in you

Lord knows you’re a God-fearing man

Holding our family in the palm of your hand

He gave us these fourteen wonderful years

Through all of the triumphs, the joys, and the tears

I believe in your favor, I believe in your soul

I'm praying for fourteen plus more to grow old

‘Cause loving you, Jermell, is what I am here for

They say when a man finds a loving wife

He finds a blessing and favor for his life

But you are the favor that Heaven designed

The sweetest of souls I could ever find

We said our vows on the day you were born

A double celebration, a love so warm

God put us together for a reason, it’s true

I will always love you, my heart belongs to you
