Benji

Do you remember the day that we first met?

Working at the chicken plant, a time I won't forget

We were just young, trying to make our way

Didn't know forever started on that floor that day

Life took us on a detour, spun us all around

But what we started back then was waiting to be found

Oh Benji, you're the joy in my every day

With a protective kind of love that chases fear away

Over forty years went by before we said "I do"

But I thank God He led me right back to you

You're so loving and caring, my heart is finally home

With my husband by my side, I'll never be alone

Forty-something years of seasons, living separate lives

But God was working on a beautiful surprise

When you walked back in my world, the missing piece was placed

And every single lonely night was suddenly erased

I feel so safe inside your arms, you shield me from the cold

A love story this sweet just had to be retold

Oh Benji, you're the joy in my every day

With a protective kind of love that chases fear away

Over forty years went by before we said "I do"

But I thank God He led me right back to you

You're so loving and caring, my heart is finally home

With my husband by my side, I'll never be alone

I need you to know how deeply you are loved

I send my praises up to the Lord above

From the time we met at work to the altar where we stood

I wouldn't change our journey, even if I could

Oh Benji, you're the joy in my every day

With a protective kind of love that chases fear away

Over forty years went by before we said "I do"

But I thank God He led me right back to you

You're so loving and caring, my heart is finally home

Forty-something years later, and you're still my very own
