David, when I look at you
Sitting beside me in the pew
I see a heart so kind and true
A gentle spirit shining through
I think about our early days
The quiet, sweet, and caring ways
You'd always step right up to pay
And chase my every care away
ChorusAfter forty years, you still hold my hand
A loving husband, a faithful man
Because you love Jesus, you know how to love me
A beautiful picture of what grace can be
Through every season of joy and strife
David, you are the love of my life
Verse 2I smile when I think of the summer heat
Riding in the van, right by my seat
You'd take out a fan and cool the air
Just another way you showed you care
Itβs in the little things you do
That show the Savior's love in you
A tender heart that understands
Led by the Father's guiding hands
ChorusAfter forty years, you still hold my hand
A loving husband, a faithful man
Because you love Jesus, you know how to love me
A beautiful picture of what grace can be
Through every season of joy and strife
David, you are the love of my life
BridgeWe built our home on holy ground
Where mercy and kindness can be found
Your faith is the anchor, steady and deep
A covenant promise we both get to keep
I lift up my hands and I thank the Lord
For giving me a husband I adore
Final ChorusAfter forty years, you still hold my hand
A loving husband, a faithful man
Because you love Jesus, you know how to love me
A beautiful picture of what grace can be
Forever and always, as man and as wife
David, you are the love of my life
