Mike

Twenty-eight years since that Father's Day

When the pastor and my best friend led the way

We talked for days before we were face to face

My nerves were so wild, I got sick in that place

But looking at you, I saw a gentle soul

A man whose quiet faith makes him whole

Mike, you're the sweetest man I've ever known

The faith you profess is the truth you have shown

They called us crazy, thirty-one days to wed

But the Lord had a plan for the path that we tread

You are my shelter, my husband, my friend

I'll love you forever, and even then

I said "I love you" first, you knew I was the one

But I worried to death at the setting of the sun

You had no home back then, nowhere to stay

I prayed the Lord would keep you safe every day

Through eight years of pastoring, the heavy stress we bore

Through sickness and surgeries, you loved me even more

Mike, you're the sweetest man I've ever known

The faith you profess is the truth you have shown

They called us crazy, thirty-one days to wed

But the Lord had a plan for the path that we tread

You are my shelter, my husband, my friend

I'll love you forever, and even then

God is so good, look at the family we've grown

Six kids, eleven grandkids, loving Kenny as our own

Just one disagreement in twenty-eight years

When the slick winter roads brought out all of my fears

You hold my hand through the darkest of night

Walking beside me in His holy light

Mike, you're the sweetest man I've ever known

The faith you profess is the truth you have shown

They called us crazy, thirty-one days to wed

But the Lord had a plan for the path that we tread

You are my shelter, my husband, my friend

I'll love you forever, and even then

Lord knows I'll love you forever, and even then
