Phoebe

In the heart of Philadelphia, where the rivers meet

Two sailors walking down a busy city street

You wore the Navy blue with a quiet kind of pride

I knew right then I wanted you by my side

You served with an anchor, but your spirit was so free

That is where my life began, just you and me

Now you're painting the horizon where the water meets the sky

Singing praise and worship as the waves roll by

A heart so generous, with hands raised in prayer

I feel your gentle spirit in the ocean air

You loved the Lord, you loved the beach, you loved so deep and wide

My beautiful believer, forever by my side

You saw the world in colors nobody else could see

Your life was a canvas of faith and charity

You gave without a second thought, an open, willing heart

Every whispered prayer you prayed was a masterpiece of art

You would lift your voice to Heaven, letting every burden fall

Trusting in the Savior who watches over all

Now you're painting the horizon where the water meets the sky

Singing praise and worship as the waves roll by

A heart so generous, with hands raised in prayer

I feel your gentle spirit in the ocean air

You loved the Lord, you loved the beach, you loved so deep and wide

My beautiful believer, forever by my side

I know you missed your mother, I know you missed her smile

Now you are walking with her, resting for a while

The veteran has come back home, the artist finds her peace

In a chorus of the angels where the praises never cease

I walk along the shoreline, watching the tide come in

Remembering the city where our story did begin

I listen to the water, I listen to the wind

Knowing that in Heaven, I will hold your hand again

Now you're painting the horizon where the water meets the sky

Singing praise and worship as the waves roll by

A heart so generous, with hands raised in prayer

I feel your gentle spirit in the ocean air

You loved the Lord, you loved the beach, you loved so deep and wide

My beautiful Phoebe, forever by my side
