Charles

I look at you and see a quiet grace

A handsome smile upon a steady face

You walk in wisdom, gentle but so strong

With you, my heart has known where I belong

We built this house upon the solid rock

With every prayer, with every faithful walk

Love is patient, love is kind

A truer husband I could never find

It bears all things, believes the best

Charles, with you, my soul is truly blessed

We hold to God, He holds our hands

Bound together in a cord of three strands

You might be hard-headed from time to time

But you’re so lovable, I don't even mind

You lead us well with patience in your eyes

A man of faith, so steadfast and so wise

When shadows fall, we open up the Word

And let the spirit of the Lord be heard

Love is patient, love is kind

A truer husband I could never find

It bears all things, believes the best

Charles, with you, my soul is truly blessed

We hold to God, He holds our hands

Bound together in a cord of three strands

Many waters cannot quench this flame

We lift our voices to the Savior’s name

Through every season, underneath His wings

Our love rejoices in the truth He brings

'Cause love is patient, love is kind

A truer husband I could never find

It bears all things, believes the best

Charles, with you, my soul is truly blessed

Forever walking as the Maker planned

Bound together in a cord of three strands
