Pete

Back in nineteen ninety-one, the Lord crossed our ways

I didn't know the blessing that would anchor my days

By ninety-seven, we stood and we made our vow

And I look at the life that He's given us now

You are the rock that I lean on when the seasons change

Through the sunshine and shadows, His grace stays the same

Pete, you are the shelter God gave to me

Strong and steady like a lighthouse on the sea

You keep me warm, you keep me safe and protected

A love so deep, divinely directed

In sickness and in health, through every test

I will love you, my husband, till our last breath

I see the peace in your eyes when you're out on the lake

Casting out a fishing line for the quietness' sake

But your heart shines the brightest with the grandkids around

That is where the purest kind of joy can be found

We raised four beautiful girls, watched them grow and fly

A testament of family beneath the Father's sky

Pete, you are the shelter God gave to me

Strong and steady like a lighthouse on the sea

You keep me warm, you keep me safe and protected

A love so deep, divinely directed

In sickness and in health, through every test

I will love you, my husband, till our last breath

Every prayer I whisper, I thank Him for your hand

For a faithful, loving man who knows how to stand

Through the trials and the triumphs, side by side we walk

In the comfort of the evening, in the way we talk

You're my earthly guardian, my refuge in the night

Walking in His spirit, walking in His light

Pete, you are the shelter God gave to me

Strong and steady like a lighthouse on the sea

You keep me warm, you keep me safe and protected

A love so deep, divinely directed

In sickness and in health, through every test

I will love you, my husband, till our last breath

Yes, I will love you, Pete, till our last breath
