Desmond

I was carrying the pieces of a heavy heart

Didn't know how a real love was supposed to start

But heaven had a plan that I couldn't see

At His appointed time, He gave you to me

Desmond, you stepped in and brought the light

Showed me how it feels when somebody loves you right

You love me through the thick and the thin

The love of my life, where my healing begins

A hard-working husband, so caring and wise

I see the grace of God when I look in your eyes

A great father to our children, a steady guiding hand

And a granddaddy showing them what makes a good man

From pitching up a tent underneath the open sky

To flying on our world tours, watching cities pass us by

Every quiet moment just spending time with you

You share your gentle wisdom, and you keep it funny too

I look around the room at the family we've grown

And I know it's the safest love I've ever known

You love me through the thick and the thin

The love of my life, where my healing begins

A hard-working husband, so caring and wise

I see the grace of God when I look in your eyes

A great father to our children, a steady guiding hand

And a granddaddy showing them what makes a good man

Lord knows I thank Him every single day

For sending my soulmate down this way

You took my brokenness and made my spirit new

I just love living this beautiful life with you

'Cause you love me through the thick and the thin

The love of my life, where my healing begins

A hard-working husband, so caring and wise

I see the grace of God when I look in your eyes

A great father to our children, a steady guiding hand

And a granddaddy showing them what makes a good man
