Matt

Looking back upon the years we've shared,

Through every valley, every mountain climbed,

I see the quiet ways you've always cared,

And how the Lord has joined your heart to mine.

I think about our quiet getaways,

The peaceful moments far from worldly noise,

Where we would count the blessings of our days,

And find our shelter in a gentle voice.

When God gave me you, He knew my heart,

He knew I'd need a steady hand to hold.

Through every up and down, you played your part,

With faithful love more beautiful than gold.

Through every earthly storm this life could bring,

God knew you'd be the wind beneath my wings.

I saw His grace the day our children came,

The tender way you held them in your arms,

And now the grandkids know their grandpa's name,

Kept safe within your loving, quiet charm.

You lead our family with a humble soul,

Because you love the Lord with all your might.

You give your time to make our circle whole,

And guide us gently by His holy light.

When God gave me you, He knew my heart,

He knew I'd need a steady hand to hold.

Through every up and down, you played your part,

With faithful love more beautiful than gold.

Through every earthly storm this life could bring,

God knew you'd be the wind beneath my wings.

Out on the water, casting out a line,

You find your peace beneath the open sky.

I watch you fishing, patient and refined,

And thank the Lord for every year gone by.

Matt, your faith is anchored deep and true,

A quiet strength that carries me and you.

When God gave me you, He knew my heart,

He knew I'd need a steady hand to hold.

Through every up and down, you played your part,

With faithful love more beautiful than gold.

Through every earthly storm this life could bring,

God knew you'd be the wind beneath my wings.

Yes, God knew you'd be the wind beneath my wings.
