Rickey

Our parents introduced us years ago

We started out as friends and let it grow

We took a chance on love, but lost our way

And walked down separate roads for many days

But heaven had a plan we couldn't see

To bring you, Rickey, right back here to me

Seventeen years of a beautiful life

I will always love you, I'm so proud to be your wife

You’ve got a patient heart, you'll help anyone in need

A wonderful husband, a father, and a grandpa planting seeds

We took the long way back, but we finally understood

Through it all, God made it work for our good

I watch the way you love us, steady and so true

There's so much gentle kindness inside of you

You're the rock for our children, holding up the frame

And all the grandkids smile when they call your name

If a stranger on the shoulder needs a helping hand

You're the first to pull over, you're a patient man

Seventeen years of a beautiful life

I will always love you, I'm so proud to be your wife

You’ve got a patient heart, you'll help anyone in need

A wonderful husband, a father, and a grandpa planting seeds

We took the long way back, but we finally understood

Through it all, God made it work for our good

We had to let go just to find it once again

Now you're the love of my life and my very best friend

No matter what tomorrow brings, or what we have to face

I'll stay right by your side in this sacred space

Seventeen years of a beautiful life

I will always love you, I'm so proud to be your wife

You’ve got a patient heart, you'll help anyone in need

A wonderful husband, a father, and a grandpa planting seeds

We took the long way back, but we finally understood

Through it all, God made it work for our good

Yeah, through it all, God made it work for our good
